The objective of this study was to determine the energy values of soybean oil (SBO) and tallow (T) combined in different ratios, and to evaluate their effects on the performance, body composition, and serum lipid levels of starter broilers. In experiment I, a digestibility trial was performed to determine the energy value of the SOB and T mixtures using 100 12 to 21 -day-old broilers. In experi...

Female rats 4 weeks old were fed diets including beef tallow or safflower oil in combination with sucrose or rice starch. At 8 weeks of age, half the rats were orally administered 2 of estrogen (mestranol) in5 Ml of safflower oil and half were fed the vehicle only. After 10 to 14 days of estrogen treatment, rats were fasted and exsanguinated. Alterations were found in weight gain, liver weights...

Use of poultry fat in the finishing diets of steers has not been studied as a potential source of added energy. Therefore, 60 Angus crossbred steers were fed 1 of 3 dietary treatments consisting of 1) a corn-soybean meal control diet devoid of added fat; 2) the control diet formulated with 4% tallow; or 3) the control diet formulated with 4% poultry fat. Addition of fat did not (P = 0.17) affec...

Biodiesel has been presented worldwide as a viable alternative to petroleum-based fuels. In 2018, the main raw materials in this Brazilian sector was soybean (70.52%) and beef tallow (13.4%). The mandatory biodiesel-diesel blend is currently 10% (B10), but B20 estimated for 2030. Additionally, National Program Production Use of (PNPB) intends promote diversification energy matrix, where - resid...

The main objective or the present proposal was to investigate the effect of feeding a lowor high-fat diet in the early and late stages of colon carcinogenesis. Sprague-Dawley male rats were injected with azoxymethane (20 mg/kg/week) for 2 weeks. One week later they were randomly allocated to eat a low-fat (4% beef tallow + 1% corn oil) or a high-fat (18.6% beef tallow + 4.7% corn oil) diet (LF ...
