Vinasse in birds nutrition

In broilers, the inclusion rate is 14 ml/animal/day on average in the whole growing period and it is sprinkled on the feed in the morning and afternoon. The results indicate a similar intake of feeds with an extra gain of 200 g in live weight and a better feed conversion, indicating a better efficiency use of the nutrients in the diet. Broilers fed vinasse showed a 2% improvement in liveability and an increase in weight of the edible pieces (carcass: 155 g superior, breast: 46 g, leg + thigh: 10 g), and no increase in weight of viscera and abdominal fat. In the rearing period of layers, it is used from day one at a rate of 14 ml/bird/day (after 35 days). The results show a better uniformity, reporting an average weight increase of 67g (1386 g at 18 weeks of age) compared to a control flock.

The development of the reproductive organs from 16 weeks of age onwards is better with a higher deposition of abdominal fat, allowing the birds to have reserves for egg production. It was reported that birds start laying at 17 weeks of age (instead of 20 weeks) and produce 16% more eggs when consuming vinasse. Mortality of the birds is one of the most important aspects when using vinasse. A mortality decrease of 11 % is reported, evidencing a beneficial health effect. In laying hens, the supply of 2-3% (15 ml) in the diet increases egg production and laying intensity up to 5 %. Feed conversion is improved with 12 g less feed per egg produced and mortality was 3.3% lower. Source (AllaboutFeed.net)
