“…No adverse effects were seen at post-mortem inspection. Morrison et al (1968) determined the metabolisable energy of calcium lignosulphonate added to practical broiler diets (maize-soybean type). The inclusion of calcium lignosulphonate in pelleted broiler diets up to 50 000 mg/kg as pellet binder did not significantly affect 28-day body weight or feed to gain ratio (two runs).…”

Lignosulphonates are amorphous branched polymers of lignin, containing sulphonated covalently linked phenyl propane monomers, produced from the sulphite pulping of lignocellulosic biomasses. The calcium lignosulphonate, sodium lignosulphonate and magnesium lignosulphonate under assessment are considered together under the term lignosulphonate. Lignosulphonate is safe for chickens for fattening, laying hens, pigs for fattening and cattle for fattening at a maximum concentration of 10 000 mg/kg complete feed. A margin of safety cannot be identified. Therefore, this conclusion cannot be extended to all animal species/categories. No concern for consumer safety would arise from the use of lignosulphonate in animal nutrition. Lignosulphonate is not an irritant to the skin and eyes and is not a skin sensitiser. Exposure to dust by inhalation is considered a hazard. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) could not conclude on the safety of lignosulphonate for the environment. Lignosulphonate is effective as a pellet binder at a minimum level of 7 500 mg/kg feed.

“…The increased use of pelleted feeds and expansion of birds fed without upgrades to feed mills that necessitate high pellet throughput to meet feed volume requirements has prompted feed manufacturers to become interested in efficiency of pelleting and pellet durability. In attempts to improve pellet durability, manufacturers have used various types of pellet binders, methods of conditioning, and different sizes of dies [28]. Acar et al [29] found that the addition of Calcium lignosulfonate (CaLS) in broiler diets significantly improved the amount of intact pellets by 56%.…”

“…Trabalhando com um aditivo nutritivo e aglomerante, contendo 18% de proteína bruta, 40% de carboidratos, 15% de sal e com energia metabolizável de 10,96 MJ/kg de matéria seca, PROUDFOOT & HULAN (1980) SIBBALD & WOLYNETZ (1989) estimaram o valor de energia metabolizável real do lignosulfonato de cálcio em 4,90 ± 0,52 MJ/kg da matéria seca, metade do valor de energia metabolizável aparente demonstrado por Morrison et al (1968).…”
