Summary: The use of glycerin as energy source for ruminants is a viable option (ÍTAVO et al., 2011), once its energetic value is similar to corn starch (Duque et al., 2011). Gomes et al. (2011) verified that glycerin, purified or not, added to roughages improves the in vitro digestibility of organic matter and the total digestible nutrients. Many others researches were carried out to study the effects of glycerin in ruminant feeding and animal production (Duque et al., 2011; Gomes et al., 2011).
