摘要：Feeding is responsible for the higher cost of animal production, restricting the profit margin of breeders. The use of co-products in food is vital not only to make animal production viable, but also to mitigate environmental pollution and make animal feed available in non-grain producing regions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional potential of the co-product of the diet used in the creation of Diatraea saccharalis in animal feed. The experimental design was completely randomized with two treatments and six replications, consisting of the diet and leftovers from the diet of D. saccharalis. The samples were homogenized, ground and analyzed for percentages of dry matter, moisture, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber and mineral matter. Gross energy (kcal/kg) was determined in a Parr-type calorimetric pump. Data were subjected to analysis of variance; means were compared by the F test (P D. saccharalis has potential for use in animal diets after drying.
