The 5th Edition of the Brazilian Tables for Poultry and Swine
On March 26, the 5th edition of the Brazilian Tables for Poultry and Swine was released in Viçoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The 5th edition was dedicated in memory of Professor Luiz Fernando Teixeira Albino, one of the editors of all previous editions, who passed away last February 13.
This document was mainly developed at the Federal University of Viçosa but includes important contributions of researchers from São Paulo State University (UNESP), the Federal University of Paraíba, and the Federal University of Lavras.
These Tables become an additional reference for practical feed formulation of monogastric animals worldwide.
“In a couple of articles, we will summarize the main contents of this publication to stimulate readers to obtain the publication and evaluate its values and equations.
To simplify the reading of this article, most of the references were omitted and all can be found in the 575 pages of this well-documented book. These Tables can be acquired with calculators or software to apply the mathematical models used.
“This publication includes a description of nutrient composition, amino acid (AA) digestibility, and energy content of most feed ingredients used in poultry and swine diets in Brazil. However, it can be a reference for other countries with feed ingredients of similar origin or characteristics. It also contains the methodologies, equations, and diverse examples to estimate the energy content of feedstuffs, and nutritional requirements for broilers, broiler breeders, layers, and swine. In the present article, we will start by describing the feedstuffs information and the poultry nutritional requirements.
Nutritional and Energy Value of Feed Ingredients
These tables contain a description of Brazilian feed ingredients. This edition contains two categories of corn grain and soybean meal in addition to the average values. The two additional corn categories were calculated using the average dry matter value plus or minus one standard deviation. The soybean meals included higher or lower content of hulls.
Phosphorus content and phytase
The phytate phosphorus (P) content of Brazilian plant feedstuffs was determined in addition to total P, and the non-phytic P was considered as available P. In animal feedstuffs, the P availability was considered 100%, except for meat and bone meals which had 90% P availability.
Values of standardized digestible P content deter...
