Evaluación en los parámetros productivos en conejos en etapas de levante y ceba, suplementados con guácimo (guazuma ulmifolia).

Abstract

The purpose of the research work was to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of guásimo (Guazuma ulmifolia) in two different levels to a diet for rabbits in the raising and fattening phase, in which three treatments were used: a control made up of food balanced commercial and the remaining two with this same balanced feed plus the inclusion of 15% and 30% of guásimo (Guazuma ulmifolia) in their respective lifting and fattening stage. In this project, 15 rabbits of the same breed, sex and age (30 days) were used, with a duration of 60 days (8 weeks). Parameters such as: Start Weight-End weight, Daily weight gain or daily weight gain, Food conversion, Food Efficiency, Channel performance, Economic analysis. In the results obtained in the variable increase in daily weight, Carcass Yield, Conversion and Feed Efficiency, there were no significant differences between them, which means that the use of flour from the Guásimo leaf (Guazuma ulmifolia) in the form of pellets as a supplement in animal feed, it turns out to be an efficient alternative means in the raising and fattening of rabbits. In the cost analysis, differences were found, with contributing and positive approaches to the rabbit field. It was determined that the substitution of Guásimo (Guazuma ulmifolia) contributes a higher cost reduction with respect to animal feeding.
