Determination of apparent metabolizable energy of crude glycerin in broilers chickens

Abstract: The objective of the experiment was to determine the Apparent Metabolizable Energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) of a glycerin product derived from biodiesel production for broilers. A number of 35 male Ross 308 broilers, with 35 days of age was fed ad libitum diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, or 20% glycerin. AMEn was determined using total excreta collection, with four days of adaptation and three days of collection. Increasing glycerin intakes resulted in increased water excretion. Glycerin AMEn varied as a fu… Show more

“…Gianfelici et al (2011) observed diarrhea cases in broilers fed glycerol. According to these authors, the increase of water in the excreta was due to excessive urine production, not due to water retention by the intestine.…”

“…According to Gianfelici et al (2011), it is possible to use glycerin as an energy source for poultry nutrition, although it is difficult to avoid problems caused by excessive moisture in the bed. This is caused by constituent minerals present in the glycerin leading to increased wetting of the bedding (GUERRA et al, 2011).…”

“…A further concern, according to Cerrate et al (2006), is the high level of potassium, which may cause problems such as wet litter or electrolyte imbalance in the diet. High levels of minerals may exceed the nutritional requirements of poultry, resulting in reduced food intake, increased water intake and thus, higher bed humidity (CERRATE et al, 2006;GIANFELICI et al, 2011). Studies investigating the effects of different glycerin levels in the diets of broilers at different stages of production, including effects on meat quality, can make a valuable contribution to considerations of the use of glycerin on a commercial scale.…”

“…Estudos tem demostrado que a utilização da molécula de glicerol pelas aves é limitada, isso porque a enzima glicerol quinase apresenta um ponto de saturação, limitando assim a transformação do glicerol em glicerol-3-fosfato (Min et al, 2010). Esse glicerol que não sofre a metabolização é eliminado pelos rins na urina (Dasari, 2007), por ser hidrofílico ao ser excretado carrega junto consigo água, acarretando no aumento na produção de urina (Gianfelici et al, 2011). Em estudo realizado por Romano et al (2014), as aves alimentadas com até 7,5% de GB foram capazes de metabolizar o glicerol mais facilmente do que aquelas alimentadas com 10%, que apresentaram uma concentração sanguínea de glicerol aproximadamente 69% superior.…”
