I am writing to you from Bogota, Colombia. This country has become a big palm oil producer and more recently a big palm oil based biodiesel producer. I am a nutritionist for a feed company. We are about to add to our layer and broiler feeds Palm fatty acid distillate (steam distillation). I have experience with crude palm oil and the fibrous palm kernel by products, not with the PFAD. Do you have experience with this material in poultry feeding? We have done a fatty acid profile and it closely matches what we see published. However bird performance experiments and metabolizable energy value determination are hard to find in the web. I thank you in advance for the attention given.

Is there any relationship between rainfall and oer and ffa? tq
darren
Dear Mr Darren, Good even rainfall throughout the year will lead to better, healthier, plants with bigger fruit in the bunches, and better OER. But other variables also have an effect it is very difficult to be precise. The FFA is more affected by the maturity of the fruit and care after harvesting than by anything else.
