Abstract: | Feeding Value of Fats and Oils from Finishing Processes for Poultry Altogether two trials with 22 different fats/oils have been carried out. In the first trial the interesterification and the digestibility of the fatty acids of seven fats and oils from the finishing processes with different contents of polymeres have been determined with broilers, aged 2–3 and 5–6 weeks as well as adult cocks. The age of the animals and the shares of the fatty acids were of high influence on the feeding value. In the second trial the fattening performance of broilers that had got ratios of 13 different frying oils, bleaching earth oils or distillation residues, was determined. The results with frying oils were successful, those with bleaching earth oils were moderate and with distillation residues extremely bad. A dependence between the content of polymeres and the feeding value of fat and oils could not be found out. |
