Abstract

 

With the aim of evaluating the degreased paste from seed pressing (SMOD) and a residue flour from leaves fermented by Mucor circinelloides-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (HMHF), biorefining byproducts from the processes of biodiesel and bioethanol production from Moringa oleifera (MO), the effect of their inclusion was tested in fattening Japanese quails, measuring productive response parameters and carcass yields. The results were compared to diets containing unfermented MO leaf (HMNT) and a conventional one (TEST). For this purpose, 180 quails were fed during 35 days with the formulated diets. The diet with HMNT showed the lowest weight gain and the highest mortality. SMOD obtained the highest average of final live weight, weight gain and the lowest food conversion. SMOD presented the highest weights and HMNT the highest percentages of warm and cold carcass. It is concluded that the degreased pastes from seed pressing and the flour from fermented MO can be used at the inclusion levels tested in diets to feed Japanese quails, without negative effects on their growth.
