“…However, the FT was lower in our treatments, ranging from 1.41 to 0.81 mm. On the other hand, Santos et al [ 1 ] reported a quadratic effect (p<0.05) on animal performance without changes in the FT of longissimus muscles when lambs were fed licuri cake.…”

“…The inclusion of 24% licuri cake in diets fed to lambs has led to a 39% reduction in intake and a decreased weight gain and average daily gain (ADG) [2]. On the other hand, a 17% inclusion of licuri has been reported to improve feed conversion and to increase ADG [3], and no changes in the dry matter intake (DMI) of lambs was observed with 16% inclusion of licuri cake [1]. In addition, the fatty acid profile of licuri oil is different from traditional oil sources; it is highly saturated, with high percentages of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), mainly lauric and myristic acids [4].…”

“…Its fruits (or coconuts) are drupes with abundant oily endosperm and a fibrous mesocarp. It is an important food resource for humans and animals in the northeast Brazil, although licuri is mainly fed as licuri cake in animal nutrition, which is used to increase the concentration of ether extract (EE) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in the diet [ 1 , 2 ]. The inclusion of 24% licuri cake in diets fed to lambs has led to a 39% reduction in intake and a decreased weight gain (WG) and average daily gain (ADG) [ 2 ].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dietary ground licuri on lamb performance. Methods: Forty male lambs were used in a completely randomized design to test the effects of 0, 5, 10, and 15 g/kg of ground licuri added to diets. The trial lasted for 75 days. Intake, digestibility, physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF), and chewing activity were estimated. Blood samples were taken on day 45 to determine the concentrations of glucose, urea, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), and triglycerides (TG). Average daily gain (ADG) were determined on the last day of the experimental trial. Results: Licuri inclusion markedly increased dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and ether extract (EE) content, but it decreased dry matter (DM) intake. However, the intake and digestibility of EE linearly increased. The ADG decreased linearly (p<0.05) with licuri inclusion. Licuri had no effect (p>0.05) on the concentrations of blood metabolites; however, blood urea increased (p<0.05), while serum glucose decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: The physically effective fiber of ground licuri is similar to Tyfton hay and licuri inclusion decreases lamb performance due to a decreased in DM intake.

“…However, a decrease in lamb performance due to decreased dry matter intake was observed [240]. The lambs fed with 16% licuri cake had no changes in the dry matter intake [241]. Nonetheless, the addition of 24% licuri cake in the feed of lambs resulted in a 39% reduction in intake, decrease in weight gain, and average daily gain [242].…”

Emerging Lipids from Arecaceae Palm Fruits in Brazil

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Arecaceae palm tree fruits (APTFs) with pulp or kernel rich in oil are widely distributed in six Brazilian biomes. APTFs represent a great potential for the sustainable exploitation of products with high added value, but few literature studies have reported their properties and industrial applications. The lack of information leads to underutilization, low consumption, commercialization, and processing of these fruit species. This review presents and discusses the occurrence of 13 APTFs and the composition, physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, and potential applications of their 25 oils and fats. The reported studies showed that the species present different lipid profiles. Multivariate analysis based on principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) indicated a correlation between the composition of pulp and kernel oils. Myristic, caprylic, capric, and lauric acids are the main saturated fatty acids, while oleic acid is the main unsaturated. Carotenoids and phenolic compounds are the main bioactive compounds in APTFs, contributing to their high oxidative stability. The APTFs oils have a potential for use as foods and ingredients in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries. However, more studies are still necessary to better understand and exploit these species.

“…Additionally, the neutral detergent fiber in LC is as effective as that of hay (Daza et al, 2021). Researchers who replaced soybean meal (the main dietary source of protein) with LC in the diet of sheep described a decrease in nutrient intake and digestibility, performance, and carcass traits (Santos et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2016). More recently, studies have suggested the possibility of including up to 100 g/kg LC in high-grain diets for steers and goat kids (Silva et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2022).…”

Licuri cake (LC) is an interesting alternative nutritional component for high-grain diets for ruminants due to its high protein (21.6% CP), fat (12.0% EE), and fiber (62.8% NDF) contents. We investigated the effect of increasing levels of LC inclusion on the intake, digestibility, feeding behavior, performance, and carcass traits of cull cows fed high-grain diets. Forty Zebu cows with an initial weight of 318 ± 38.1 kg, at 105 months of age, were confined in collective stalls and fed (ad libitum) a diet containing 0, 50, 100, or 150 g/kg LC on a diet dry matter (DM) basis. Licuri cake inclusion induced quadratic responses (P < 0.05) in the intakes of DM (9.57 kg/day at 97.8 g/kg LC), crude protein (CP; 1.02 kg/day at 91.7 g/kg LC), and total digestible nutrients (6.68 kg/day at 75.2 g/kg LC). The digestibility of DM, CP, and non-fibrous carbohydrates decreased linearly (P < 0.05). Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake and rumination efficiencies increased linearly (P < 0.05) with the inclusion of LC in the diet. The inclusion of LC did not influence (P > 0.05) on daily weight gain, hot carcass weight, or back fat thickness in the carcass. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of up to 150 g/kg LC in high-grain diets for feedlot cull cows.
