Enriquecimento nutricional do bagaço do pedúnculo do caju com Saccharomyces cerevisiae nas dietas de codorna.

Abstract

This work was carried out with the aim of studying the enlargement of experimental scale process of nutritional enrichment of bagasse of stalk of cashew apple using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae, through the semisolid fermentation aiming at the production of a nutritional supplement enriched to replace, partly, commercial supplements in feed of quail. It was also studied the proteic increase using rotary drum bioreactor and the results suggested that the time at 12 hours had a higher protein content of 15,21%, with a percentage increase of 83,80% of protein. Later this material already enriched was formulated as feed to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in order to determine the metabolized energy of the bagasse of stalk of cashew apple enriched. It were used 120 quails with 60 days of age, distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments ( one reference diet and two replacement levels) with five replicates of eight quails per experimental unit. The levels of apparent metabolized energy (AME) and apparent metabolized energy corrected (AMEn), in Kcal/kg of natural matter from bagasse of stalk of cashew apple enriched with yeast, were 2.522,20 and 2465,93, in the level of 15% replacement and 2539,62 and 2421,81, with replacement of 30% of the diet reference, respectively. The values of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, calcium and phosphorus were 83,80%, 15,20%, 149,90g, 110g and 200g, respectively. From these results were verified the effects of bagasse of stalk of cashew apple in the diet of Japanese quails on performance, economic analysis and quality of eggs. It were used 160 quails from the species Coturnix coturnix japonica with 86 days of age, with an average production of 92%, then it was conducted an experiment in a completely randomized design, with four treatments (reference feed + 10, 20 and 30% of replacement) five replicates and eight quails per experiment unit, with four periods of 21 days. The bagasse of stalk of cashew apple enriched with 10,65% reached the highest egg weight, its replacement is economically feasible and does not compromise the zootecnic indexes, however, increased levels of bagasse of stalk of cashew apple should be evaluated according to the aspects of economics and market. For that the percentage of protein of bagasse of stalk of cashew apple remains unchanged, storage should be in a freezer after dry.
