Chemical composition, energetic values and real digestible amino acid of different viscera meals for poultry

It was aimed to determine energetic and amino acidic composition, coefficients of metabolizity of energy and digestibility of viscera meal for poultry. The method of forced feeding with cecectomized adult cockerel was used. A completely randomized design was used, with 4 different viscera meals (3 of poultry, one from swine, and one in fast), six replications and one cecectomized cockerel per experimental unit. The apparent metabolizable energy values were the following: 2,878; 3,179; 3,005 and 2,145; the values of aparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance were the following: 3,017; 3,487; 3,155; and 2,414 kcal/kg of natural matter, the values of aparent metabolizable energy corrected were: 3,720, 4,016, 3,840 and 2,981kcal/kg of natural matter and the values of aparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance were 3,239, 3,367, 3,350 and 2,372 kcal/kg of natural matter. According to energetic values and gross energy, the apparent metabolizable coefficients were 53.65; 61.96; 60.20 and 46.13; for the correct apparent metabolizability they were 56.22; 67.96; 63.22 and 51.91; for the real metabolizity they were 69.33; 78.28; 76.94 and 64.1; and the values for corrected real metabolizability were 60.36; 65.62; 67.12 and 51.01, for poultry and swine viscera meal. The real digestibility average coefficients of essential and non essential amino acids for poultry and swine viscera meal are 81.20 and 74.55; 75.73 and 67.15; 88.45 and 85.20; 89.27 and 84.35, respectively.
