Evaluación del ensilaje de una muestra forrajera con la adición de suero de leche, melaza y bentonita y su efecto en la alimentación de cuyes en la etapa de crecimiento - engorde

Abstract

In Guamote canton from Chimborazo province, it was evaluated the usage of silage evaluation of a fodder mixture adding whey, molasses and bentonite and its effect in the ginea pigs diet at the growing – fattening stage. It was appilied a completely randomized design whit a fixed combination of two – factor. The results obtained after research processing are: the best final wight gain, the best weight gain the best diet conversion, carcass weight and carcass yield 1.12 kg, 076, 0.67 kg and 66.50% respectively was to T1 (silage of ragwort + sig sig whit additive of whey). Relating to the gender factor is observed that all the productive parameters such as final weight, the weight gain, total fod intake, diet conversion, carcass weight and carcass yield it is determined that there is a supremacy in the male ginea pigs relating to the female ginea pigs. The best cost – benefit is also assigned to the T1 treatment which an indicatir of $ 1,26 was obtained, i.e it was obtained a profit of 26 cents for each dollar invested moreover the rest of the treatments formed by silage of ragwort + sig sig whit molasses and silage of ragwort + sig sig whit bentonite regarding to the economic benefit excedes the control tratment. Therefore the usage of silage of ragwort + sig sig + teh different additives do not affect the livestock biological behavior. Which it is recomended the usage of whey as an additive in the silage (ragwort + sig sig) for the ginea pigs diet during the growing – fattening stage.
