Costos de la implementación del ensilaje de yuca (Manihot Esculenta) como suplemento alimenticio para bovinos de doble propósito en el corregimiento de Casa Blanca (Magdalena) caso finca El Manantial.

Abstract

This research refers to establishing the economic feasibility of the implementation of cassava silage (sculent manihot) as a food supplement for dual-purpose cattle in the white-house corregimiento (Magdalena) farm case on the producers have other options for feeding cattle, and can also reduce production costs and improve their income. In this regard, a qualitative, mixed, projective methodology was presented through a sequential explanatory design approach. The exhibition consists of 10 producers from the Casa Blanca corregimiento, Finca El Manantial. In addition, the case sample corresponds to a growing area of 45.6 square meters that at the current planting distance represents 38 cassava plants. The techniques to be used in the research consisted of systematic observation, documentary review and survey application. The results involve that silage forms a successful and easy-to-craft technique, the main use of silage is to produce food for animals when there are shortages in the times of setwork. It is concluded that by identifying yields in cassava-based silag (Manihot sculent) per square meter according to the density of cultiv. It is noted that, in milking cows, to which they were fed cassava forage silag, their daily milk production and yield remained the same as with their usual diet, remaining on a normal average. Finally, in terms of production costs, cassava in the form of silag if it allows low feeding costs in open production systems in tropical dual-purpose livestock in prairie.
