Efecto de la utilización del chocho (Lupinus Mutabilis Sweet) como antiparasitario gastrointestinal en cuyes bajo diferentes tiempos de maceración y cocción

Abstract

In the Minor Species Program of the FCP-ESPOCH, located on the Panamericana Sur Km 11/2 , in the Riobamba canton, Chimborazo Province, the use of the macerated chocho at 0, 72 and as a factor A and as a factor B cooked at 15, 30 and 45 minutes was evaluated as a treatment to control gastrointestinal parasites, with 4 replications. The investigation was analyzed under a completely al random design with a combinatory arrangement, separations of means according to Tukey at 5%. Here, 36 21-dy-old male caves with an average weight of 0.280 kg were used over a 120-dy period. It was established that the cavies showed Eineria sp, Ord Stronrylidea, Paraspidodera uncinata and Trichuris muris as parasites of gastrointestinal settlement in the beginning of the study. As to the experimental results it was possible to find out that the use of the chocho phytochemical extract without maceration and cooked for 30 minutes (A1B2) 1.364 kg weight, 1.084 kg weight gain, 5.903 feed conversion, 1.023 kg carcass weight, 74.78% carcass yield and a benefit – cost of 23 dollar cents for each investment dollar, showing more effectiveness in these parameters. In general, it can be said that with the administration of the chocho phytochemical extract, it was possible to eliminate the presence of the above mentioned parasites and improve the productive parameters in cavies at 120 days evaluation. It is therefore recommended to use the extract from the chocho (Lupinus mutabilis sweet) as an antihelminth because it eliminates gastrointestinal-settlement parasites.
