Evaluación de (4) estrategias de alimentación para mejorar el rendimiento y la calidad de la carne en pollos de engorde raza Cobb, en San José del Guaviare.

Abstract

This degree work was carried out with the purpose of providing better nutrition and a reduction in production costs to the birds or broiler chickens of the Los Naranjos farm. The main objective is to evaluate four (4) feeding strategies to improve the performance and quality of meat in Cobb breed broilers, in San Jose del Guaviare, where birds are selected at random to make up the 4 groups, the data collected was taken every week to have statistical differences in the weight of the birds, where it was noted at a glance that group 2, which is made up of the diet of ripe banana, cracked corn and eggshell flour, obtained an ideal result in the accumulated weight gain of 9,575kg, given that the food consumption was lower, but their weight increased individually and as a group, compared to group 1, which required more accumulated food consumption in order to have a margin of weight gain of 11,687 kg. For the feed conversion data, the result was that treatment or group 2 was the one with the best feed conversion, 12.57kg, since the other groups' feed conversion is higher to obtain a good weight, which requires more costs of production and food consumption. For feed efficiency, the result was that the best treatments were group 1 and 2, since they obtained greater cumulative weight gain, group 1 obtained 1.55 kg and group 2 obtained 1.52 kg. Feed efficiency is simply expressed as the feed conversion ratio, which represents the relationship between food consumption and body weight. The productivity index that obtained the best result was group 2 with 0.61 kg group and group 1 with 0.57 kg group, since they had the highest productivity index in the food supplied in the treatments, the productivity index is an indicator that relates the most relevant technical parameters in poultry farming systems. In conclusion, it must be of great importance to improve the performance and quality of meat in broilers through evaluation and feeding strategies to guarantee the best results, managing stress, water quality, management of ventilation and their biosafety. The greatest importance is to manage the nutritional and essential requirements at the time of feeding, starting from its pre-start, start and fattening stages to obtain a good feed conversion.
