Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência Animal.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/4723Was aimed verify the effect from different levels of supplementation from biodiesel residue originating from dendê. Were utilized 25 male ovines, Mutt, gelded, with middleweight live of 20 kg. The experimental delineation utilized were randomized blocks, with 5 replicates per treatment, for the weight gain data and carcass characteristics. The biometrics data were analyzed in a subdivided parcel scheme. The experimental period was 84 days, with 14 days of adaptation and 70 days to obtain study variables. The feeding was split in 2 meals, at 7h00 and 17h00. Diets were composed 34% hay Panicum maximum cv. Massai and 61% concetrated, from broken corn, soy bran, minerals and 5% of dendê oil or dendê biodiesel residues, on increasing levels (zero, 25,50,75 and 100%), respectively. At the beginning of the trial period and each 14 days were realized morning weighings, before the first meal for performance evaluation, biometric measures and slaughtered on final of the trial period for carcass characteristics evaluation after passing 12h fasting of solids and liquid diet. Significant effects were observed (p<0,05) from inclusion levels of biodiesel residue originating from dendê. The regression equations presented increasing linear effect, for variables: dry matter consumption (DMC), live weight (LW), weight gain (WG), body score (BS), body length (BL), thoracic perimeter (TP), chest width (CW), and quadratic for PCQ, PCF,RCB, RB. Dendê biodiesel residues utilization, in replace of dendê oil on lambs food, promotes increasing effect on dry matter consumption and weight gain, improves carcass characteristics and becomes an alternative to increase energetic density of growing ovines diet.porAcesso AbertoRuminantesOvinosCordeirosAlimentaçãoÓleo de dendêBiometriaCarcaçasPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::ZOOTECNIA::NUTRICAO E ALIMENTACAO ANIMAL::AVALIACAO DE ALIMENTOS PARA ANIMAIS
