Glycerin is a cost effective replacement for high priced corn energy in rations. In high-starch rations, the energy value of glycerin is equivalent to corn. In haylage-based rations, it has increased net-energy than corn grain.

Reasons

Glycerin has been fed as a feed ingredient to replace energy sources for up to 10% of the total ration DM for broiler chickens without negatively affecting feed intake, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio and up to 15% of the total ration DM for Holstein dairy cows without deleterious effects on milk production or composition.
