Evaluación de Diferentes Niveles de Desecho de Quinua en la Etapa de Crecimiento y Engorde de Cuyes

Abstract

At "The Guinea Pig Breeding Center" was evaluated a balanced of different level of disposal of quinoa (20, 40 and 60%), against a control treatment (without disposals of quinoa) in a growing and fattening stage, using 96 female weaned guinea pigs of 28 days old distributed under a DCA, with six replicates per treatment. The experimental results were subjected to analysis of variance, mean separation with Turkey t (P <0.05 and P <0.01) and the ADEVA of regression. The best answers in a growing stage were obtained by using 40% of disposal of quinoa with a final weight (813.23 g), gaining of weight (366.25), daily gaining of weight (10.17) and feed conversion (4.53). In the fattening stage, by adding 40% of quinoa disposal, we were able to obtain better results in the final weight (1107.50 g), gaining of weight (294.17), and daily gaining of weight (8.17) and a feed conversion (8.33 ), by adding 40%. By grouping the stages of growing and feeding by using 40% of quinoa disposal, we could register superior results in the final weight (1107.50 g), gaining of weight (660.42), daily gaining of weight (9.17) and a feed conversion (6.22 ) and the lowest cost / kg gaining of weight (2.28 USD). In the economic analysis by using a 40 and 60% of quinoa disposal we could obtain a benefit / cost equivalent to ($ 1.20), reason why we recommend using balanced with 40 and 60% of quinoa disposal during the stages of growth and fattening.
