Resumen

For the precise formulation of the protein (amino acid) component of diets for monogastric animals such as the pig and chicken, it is of vital importance to have information regarding the nutritional quality of the protein sources available. Determinations of the nutritional availability of the amino acids must be carried out with ileal digesta rather than with feces. For feedstuffs that have not undergone processing (with heat and pressure, for example), true ileal amino acid digestibility coeffcients are the most appropriate for use in practical diet formulation. However, for feedstuffs that have undergone processing, the use of conventional methods to determine true ileal amino acid digestibility will overestimate the availability of amino acids such as lysine. In these cases, different methods must be used to determine the availability of lysine, such as the O-methylisourea or true reactive lysine bioassay method. The objective is to present a critical evaluation of the appropriateness of the use of the different methodologies currently available to determine the availability of amino acids in protein sources, both processed and non-processed, for the monogastric animals. Para una adecuada formulación del componente proteico (aminoácidico) en dietas destinadas a animales monogástricos, como cerdos y aves, es necesario conocer la calidad nutricional de las fuentes de proteína. Con este propósito, es necesario estimar la disponibilidad de los aminoácidos de dichas fuentes de proteína. Esto se debe hacer utilizando la digestibilidad ileal, en vez de la digestibilidad fecal. Para alimentos sin procesar (ej. procesados con calor y presión) es más apropiado utilizar coeficientes de digestibilidad verdadera, determinados a nivel del íleon en la formulación de dietas. Sin embargo, en el caso de alimentos procesados, los métodos convencionales sobreestiman la disponibilidad de aminoácidos como la lisina. En estos casos, es necesario utilizar otros métodos para determinar la disponibilidad de lisina. Por ejemplo el método O-methylisourea o el bio-ensayo de lisina reactiva verdadera. Este trabajo tuvo por objetivo realizar una evaluación crítica de las metodologías actualmente existentes para determinar la disponibilidad de los aminoácidos en ingredientes, procesados y sin procesar, que son comúnmente incorporados en dietas de animales monogástricos.
