Asistencia técnica en el pilar alimenticio y nutricional en el sistema de producción porcino de la Granja Experimental Villa Marina.

Abstract

In the business practice, professional accompaniment was carried out with zootechnical interest in pig production, where alternatives were proposed and implemented to improve the productive parameters from the nutritional approach, being carried out in the Villa Marina Experimental Farm. Due to shortcomings regarding nutritional and food management in pig production, the alternative of a hydroponic green fodder crop was implemented, where two sowing methods were used: the first method consisted of sowing three kilograms of corn seed and method two where two kilograms of seed were sown, method two being the one with the best performance in germination, growth and biomass. The food was supplied in the amount of one kilogram/animal/day, offered at 4:00 pm, starting with a period of habituation. During the supply of the feed, the acceptability, influence on gain and body composition of the pigs were evaluated. The results obtained during the implementation of the hydroponic green fodder crop based on corn, was the improvement in body composition, weight gain and good acceptance by the pigs. The costs were evaluated by comparing the production of one kilogram of hydroponic green fodder and the cost of one kilogram of commercial balanced feed. Production price of one kilogram of hydroponic green forage costs one thousand three hundred and sixty-seven without obtaining the required amount of biomass, compared to one kilogram of concentrate that currently costs two thousand six hundred pesos.
