Abstract

The experiment was carried out in the Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira in the Poultry Sector, with the purpose of evaluating or energetic valorization of soybean gum in the diet of commercial laying hens and verify the economic viability of its use as a Commercial product derived from soybeans. A total of 240 laying hens of the Lohmann LSL line were used during a period of 112 days (four cycles of 28 days) distributed in a completely randomized design (DIC) in a factorial scheme (4X2). Gum in the diet (0 and 2%) X four levels of metabolizable energy (2,610, 2,690, 2,770 and 2850 kcal / kg of feed), with five replicates of six layers each. Soybean gum increased feed intake, increased weight of weight, egg yolk size, improved digestibility of stress and energy, EMA and AMEn. The EFE index indicated as the best economic return no treatment of lower energy level (2610 kcal / kg) regardless of the inclusion of the gum. (AU)
