OLIVEIRA, Ronaldo L et al. Biodiesel industry by-products used for ruminant feed. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.4, pp.625-638. ISSN 0120-0690.

Biodiesel industry by-products appear to be an excellent alternative source for ruminant feed and may contribute to increased agricultural activity in terms of productivity and profitability. Among the various by-products, oilseed cakes have great potential for use due to their high protein and lipid contents, which make them an energetic feed source that would fulfill the nutritional requirements of animals. Thus, studies that aim to determine the optimum levels of oilseed cake in ruminant feed are important for maximizing the potential use of these by-products.

Palabras clave : cattle; goats; nutrition; oilseed cake; sheep.
