Resumen

The objective of this research was to evaluate the in vitro degradability and gas production from different byproducts of the domestic biodiesel industry (Glycine max, Brassica napus L., Helianthus annuus and Raphanus sativus L.) using four increasing levels (0, 30, 50 and 70%) of replacement of Pennisetum purpureum. The inoculum for the in vitro incubations was obtained from three Holstein cows with rumen fistulas. Gas production was measured at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours of incubation. The experimental design was a completely randomized 4 × 4 factorial arrangement, with byproducts and their levels being the factors. The results showed a significant effect (P = 0.05) of all byproducts. A higher level of degradation was observed following 48 hours of incubation with Glycine max compared with other byproducts, but it did not reduce gas production; Raphanus sativus was the most efficient byproduct to reduce the total gas production. The lowest degradation was obtained with sunflower. All the studied byproducts may be used in the diet of ruminants as potential protein supplements.El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la producción de gas y degradabilidad, mediante técnica in vitro de diferentes subproductos para la industria nacional de biodiesel (Glycine max, Brassica napus L., Helianthus annus y Raphanus sativus L.), en cuatro niveles (0, 30, 50 y 70%) sustitución de Pennisetum purpureum. El inóculo para la incubación in vitro se obtuvo de tres vacas Holstein con fístulas del rumen. La producción de gas se midió 3, 6, 12, 24 y 48 horas después de la incubación. El diseño experimental fue completamente al azar en un arreglo factorial 4 × 4, con los factores que representan los subproductos y niveles. De acuerdo con los resultados de todos los subproductos estudiados mostraron un efecto significativo (P=0,05) por las dietas. Glycine max en 48 horas de incubación fue el subproducto que mostró una mayor degradación, en comparación con los demás, pero no redujo la producción de gas, siendo el Raphanus sativus como subproducto eficiente para reducir la producción total de gas. Todos los subproductos estudiados pueden ser utilizados en la dieta de los rumiantes, como posibles suplementos de proteínas.
