RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seed byproduct as an alternative feed ingredient for growing pig. In Experiment I, eight Landrace x Large White crossbred growing pigs (four barrows and four gilts), averaging 39.23 kg live weight, were used for digestibility assay. The method was the partial faeces collection, using the chromium oxide (Cr2O3) as fecal marker. The determined apparent digestibility coefficients of energy and protein were, respectively, 63.2 and 59.7%, resulting in 2,365 kcal/kg of digestible energy and 8.8 % of digestible protein. In Experiment II, forty pigs were assigned to five treatments, in a randomized complete block design based on initial live weight and genetic group (30 Seghers and 10 Landrace x Large White crossbred pigs). The five treatments consisted of dietary levels of 0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10. 0% of annatto seed byproduct. All experimental diets were formulated to contain the same levels of digestible energy (3,400 kcal/kg), crude protein (18.0% CP) and total lysine (0.90%). Pigs were housed in 20 pens, with two pigs (a barrow and a gilt) per pen (experimental unit), and four replications per treatment. Feed and water were given ad libitum to pigs during all 35-day experimental period. The live weight and the data of feed intake per pen were registered every week. Pig performance data, such as daily feed intake (DFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion (FC) were analyzed by polynomial regression and the treatment means were compared by Tukey test. No treatment effects were observed on DFI, ADG and FC. Therefore, it can be concluded that the annatto seed byproduct can be used up to 10% in growing pig diets, adjusted for the same levels of energy and protein.
