<b>Digestible and metabolizable energy of crude glycerin for finishing pigs

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the values of apparent digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) for crude glycerin derived of biodiesel based on pork fat for finishing pigs. The diets consisted of a basal diet and four levels of crude glycerin (0, 5, 10 and 15%). Twelve pigs were housed individually in metabolic cages and after seven days of adaptation, total collections of urine and feces for four consecutive days were performed. Gross energy (GE) of crude glycerin, diets, urine and fecal s… Show more

“…In this sense, the DC and MC of the energy from the diets increased because the glycerin has higher coefficients than control diet. Higher amounts of dietary metabolizable and digestible energy with glycerin inclusion in the basal diet were also reported by Silveira et al (2015), who evaluated a product with 75% glycerol and 14% fatty acids.…”

“…Furthermore, ileal digestibility of glycerol is very high (>99%) for diets containing crude glycerin (Oliveira et al, 2014). In addition, Silveira et al (2015) evaluated crude glycerin (0, 5, 10, and 15%), and registered that the digestible energy coefficient increased with the addition of glycerin, due to the fact that it is very digestible compared with regular feed. According to Robergs and Griffin (1998), glycerol is absorbed through the portal system and goes straight to the liver; after that, glycerin is transformed into glycerol-3-phosphate by glycerol kinase, and then it is oxidized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate on the outer face of the inner mitochondrial membrane, and goes through the glycolytic pathway for energy production.…”

“…Groesbeck et al (2008), relataram que o valor energético do milho e da glicerina são semelhantes, demonstrando um grande potencial do coproduto em substituir parte desse cereal na dieta. Segundo Silveira et al (2015) se a produção de suínos e aves, utilizar 10% de glicerina bruta nas rações, esses mercados seriam capazes de consumir toda a glicerina gerada em demasia no Brasil. No entanto, não há estudos suficientes para estabelecer um nível ideal de glicerina nas rações, sem haver comprometimento no desempenho dos animais.…”
