Palm kernel meal (PMK) was isonitrogenously substituted at 15.9 and 31.8% into a maize-groundnut meal-based diet and balanced for dietary energy by adding 2.5 or 5.0% vegetable oil as palm oil (PO) or palm kernel oil (PKO). The five diets including the basal diet were fed to 26-week-old Ross brown pullets for 12 weeks. The utilization of major nutrients and production performance were unaffected by the inclusion of 15.9% P MK with either of the two oils. Increased egg output for birds fed this level offset the noted increase in feed intake. Depressed dry matter, energy and crude fibre retention, were associated with 31.8% PKM in the diet but hen day egg production, egg weight and efficiency of feed conversion were not adversely affected. The contribution of oils to efficient utilization of a diet containing a fibre source as palm kernel meal, apart from boosting up dietary energy, is discussed along with the advantage that may accrue with the feeding of either palm oil or palm kernel oil.

Jang, Y. D. and Kim, Y. Y. 2013. Short Communication: Energy values and apparent total tract digestibility coefficients of copra meal and palm kernel meal fed to growing pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 93: 517–521. To determine energy values and coefficients of apparent total tract digestibility (CATTD) of copra meal (CM) and palm kernel meal (PKM), 24 growing pigs were fed a corn–soybean meal basal diet and the basal diet replaced by 300 g kg−1 of either CM or PKM. Copra meal had higher CATTD of gross energy (12%), dry matter (DM; 13%), neutral detergent fiber (16%), acid detergent fiber (23%), and crude fiber (79%; P<0.05) than PKM. Copra meal had a slightly higher digestible energy (DE) value than PKM (14.08 vs. 13.01 MJ kg−1 DM; P=0.067), but metabolizable energy (ME; 13.33 vs. 12.83 MJ kg−1 DM), net energy (7.97 vs. 7.36 MJ kg−1 DM), and ME:DE ratio did not differ between CM and PKM. Therefore, compared with PKM, CM can be a better source of dietary energy in swine diets as evidenced by higher CATTD of energy and fiber components.

Background: Studies pertaining to the epoxidation of fatty acids, garnered much interest in recent years due to the rising demand of eco-friendly epoxides derived from vegetable oils. Methods: Epoxide is an important chemical precursor for the production of alcohols, glycols and polymers, like polyesters and epoxy resin. Epoxidation is the name given to the reaction when the double bonds are converted into epoxide. Results: Temperature at 55oC was used as a reference material in the epoxide process, as it produces a high yield epoxide being 88%. The kinetic rate of epoxidized palm kernel oil, k was obtained to be k11= 0.5125, k12= 0.05045, k21= 0.03185, k41= 0.01 and k51= 0.01243. Conclusion: Hence, by fitting the result with the experimental work and simulation, the summation of error being stimulated by I-sight simulation was 0.731116428 and the correlation between the experimental and simulation data was 0.925544.
