Abstract: The performance, carcass traits, and litter humidity of broilers fed increasing levels of glycerine derived from biodiesel production were evaluated. In this experiment, 1,575 broilers were distributed according to a completely randomized experimental design into five treatments with seven replicates of 45 birds each. Treatments consisted of a control diet and four diets containing 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, or 10% glycerine. The experimental diets contained equal nutritional levels and were based on corn, soybean meal an… Show more

“…Whole carcass dry matter content of the broilers sacrificed with seven days of age are shown in Table 3.There was no effect of dietary glycerin inclusion (p>0.05) on whole carcass dry matter content of broilers sacrificed with seven days of age. Previous studies indicated that the inclusion of high glycerin levels in starter broiler diets increased weight gain during the first days of rearing; however, when fed during the entire rearing period, performance losses were observed (Simon et al, 1997;Cerrate et al, 2006;Silva et al, 2012). This result suggests that the use of glycerin does not promote water retention in the carcass, but true weight gain.…”

“…When significant effects were determined, means were submitted to the Chi-square test (χ 2 ). Silva et al (2012), and Dourado et al (2010). In addition, consistent with studies evaluating the addition of increasing glycerin levels (up to 10%) in broiler diets (Zavarize et al, 2012;Menten et al, 2008;Fernandes et al, 2010), no negative effect of the inclusion of up to 8% of glycerin was detected on broiler performance, suggesting that glycerin can be included in broiler diets, provided its chemical composition.…”

“…Today, broilers present high feed conversion, high carcass yield, and can be finished in a much shorter time compared with a few decades ago (Silva et al, 2012).…”

“…In contrast, Peña Martínez (2012) evaluated broiler chickens fed a diet containing 2% (age of 1-21 days) and 4% (22-40 days) soy glycerin and found a significant difference in carcass yield but no significant difference in the yield of commercial meat cuts (breast and leg), nor abdominal fat. Silva et al (2012) evaluated broiler chickens that received four distinct levels of glycerin and observed no differences in the yield of carcass, breast, thigh + drumstick, and wings.…”
