Diatomeas en la alimentación del conejo californiano desde el destete hasta el inicio de la vida reproductiva

Abstract

In the program of small animals, dog days section in the Guazlán farm – from MAGAP, it was used as additive diatom, nutrition and feeding of Californian rabbits from weaning to the start of reproductive life, with different levels (0.2 , 4,6 kg / tonne), it consisted of 40 rabbits, 20 females and 20 males aged 60 days and an average weight of 950 grams. Distributed under a completely randomized design (CRD), in combinatorial arrangement of two factors in which A were diatoms and B, the sex, with 4 repetitions, the experimental results obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, separation test medium and Turkey P 0.05 and P 0.01 The best production results are obtained with the addition of 6 kg / Tn diatomaceous (T3), reaching a final weight (3.38 kg); weight gain (2.14 kg), with a feed conversion of 7.00 efficient and cost / kg of weight gain of 3.78 USD. The analysis of the interaction between levels of diatoms and sex were not significantly different (P 0.05). The benefit / cost ratio of 1.16 and 1.15 for males and females respectively, accounting for every dollar spent there is a recovery of 0.16 and 0.15 USD. These preliminary data suggests using 6 kg / tn of diatoms in the diet of Californian rabbits
