Performance of lambs fed alternative protein sources to soybean meal

Abstract: -The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of alternative protein sources (castor bean cake, sunflower cake, and sunflower seed) to soybean meal on the intake and performance of 40 lambs, initially weighing 19.8±1.84 kg, fed diets based on Tifton grass hay. The experimental design was completely randomized blocks. There were no differences in the nutrient intake of castor bean diets compared with soybean meal. The intake of nutrients in the sunflower cake and sunflower seed diets was decreased com… Show more

“…These results evidenced the influence of energy intake on tissue deposition in sheep, with consequent gains in carcasses [ 13 , 14 ]. The maximum values for HCW and CCW found in this study (18.70 and 18.11 kg, respectively) meet the minimum values for carcass characterization with good quality, with HCWs equal to or greater than those obtained in studies using conventional diets with corn, soybean, and Tifton grass hay in their composition [ 15 , 16 ].…”

“…The 44% replacement showed much higher results than in other studies. Studies by [ 15 ] and [ 16 ] with Santa Inês animals fed conventional feeds composed of Tifton grass hay, corn, and soybean and using the same roughage:concentrate ratio [ 15 ] showed a SBW of 30.7 kg, HCW of 13.2 kg, and CCW of 12.7 kg. For SBW, HCW, and CCW, [ 16 ] found 34.7, 15.9, and 15.3 kg, respectively.…”

“…Cakes produced from biodiesel can be used in the diets of ruminants, because these cakes increase the energetic density of the diet, are sources rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and when added at moderate levels, improve the quality of the meat that is produced [ 1 3 ]. In particular, sunflower ( Helianthus annuus ) seeds are outstanding, because the seed oil is noble with great nutritional value, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and primarily linoleic acid (68 g/100 g of meat fat) in lipid composition [ 4 , 5 ].…”
