Um experimento foi realizado para avaliar a digestibilidade de dietas e balanços metabólicos de suínos alimentados com dietas contendo 800ug kg-1 de aflatoxinas. Foram utilizados oito suínos, meio-irmãos, com peso médio inicial de 13kg, alojados em gaiolas metabólicas, em ambiente semi-climatizado. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com dois tratamentos (dieta controle e controle + 800ug kg-1 de aflatoxinas) e quatro repetições, sendo o animal a unidade experimental. Os coeficientes de digestibilidade da matéria seca, proteína e energia bruta não foram influenciados (P>0,05) pela adição de 800ug kg-1 de aflatoxinas na dieta. A metabolização da energia bruta foi 6% superior (P0,05) pela adição de aflatoxinas. A excreção urinária de energia aumentou (PAn experiment was conducted in order to investigate the digestibility of diets and metabolic balances of piglets fed diets containing 800ug kg-1 of aflatoxins. This study used eight with littermate barrows whith an average initial weight of 13kg, housed in metabolic cages in a semi-acclimatized environment. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with two treatments (control diet and control + 800ug kg-1 of aflatoxins) and four replications, with the animal as the experimental unit. The digestibility coefficients of dry matter, protein and gross energy were not affected (P>0.05) by the addition of 800ug kg-1 of aflatoxins in the diet. The gross energy metabolization was 6% (P0.05) by the addition of aflatoxins in the diet. Energy losses in urine increased (P<0.05) 52% in the pigs fed diets containing aflatoxins. The presence of an aflatoxin level of 800ug kg-1 in the diet did not affect the digestibility, but it altered the protein and energy metabolism of weaned piglets.
