Impacto da umidade do farelo de soja no resultado final da proteína bruta

Abstract

The present research was carried out to identify the crude protein variability of soybean meal, due to the moisture content present in the meal. For the accomplishment of this study, qualitative and quantitative data were collected in order to obtain plausible results regarding the proposed objective, which is the verification of the impact of soybean meal moisture on the crude protein final esult. For this, the analysis was performed by infrared spectroscopy, which consists of a methodology based on molecular vibrations. The bran used to collect quantitative data was roasted meal, one of the most used for the production of ruminant feed. The importance of this research is highlighted by the growing demand for healthy food, which highlights the need for better use of the poultry, pork and beef food resources, which are sources of human food. With the studies carried out and after the Infrared Spectroscopy test, the correlation between moisture and crude protein of soybean meal was verified, it was verified that there is a negative relation between the two variables, that is, that the increasing the moisture in the bran implies in the decrease of the protein.
