Tucumã bran as an alternative food to diets for slow-growing broilers

Keywords: alternative food, Astrocaryum aculeatum, broilers, Label Rouge

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of tucumã bran (TB) in diets for slow-growing broilers at initial stage on productive performance, carcass and cuts yields, and proximate composition of the breast. Slow-growing Label Rouge broilers were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with four treatments, four replications and 12 broilers per experimental unit. The treatments consisted of a control diet (without the inclusion of TB in the diets) and three levels of its inclusion (5, 10 and 15%) in the diets. Broilers received the experimental diets from 1 to 28 days of age followed by a basal diet from 29 to 56 days of age. The results of the present study indicated that the inclusion of 15% TB did not affect (p>0.05) feed intake, however, it influenced (p≤0.05) the results of weight gain and feed conversion both in the initial and final stages of management, indicating a possible influence on the use of nutrients containing in the diet. Despite the linear reduction in slaughter weight and in the percentage of available nutrients in the carcass, the increasing inclusion of TB in the diets provided greater carcass yield (p≤0.05) and viscera greater commercial interest (liver, gizzard and heart) (p≤0.05).
