Evaluar tres niveles de harina aviar en cuyes en la etapa de gestacion y lactancia

Abstract

In the province of Tungurahua, district of Quero, Yanayacu´s community evaluated three levels of avian flour in adult guinea pigs during their gestation and lactation period, for which it was used a completely random design, (the separation of averages by Duncan), in this way it was determined that the use of 9% of avian flour allowed to register the biggest weight of the mothers at 15, 30, 45 days (121244, 1314,44 and 1619,94 g respectively), although after the childbirth it wasn’t determined the statistical differences between those mothers; the brood´s weight at birth was from 366,25 to 462,31, at weaning the broods weight was from 780,69 to 1004,75, at childbirth it had a offspring’s average of 2,59 to 3,19 and at weaning an average of 2,38 to 3,06 offspring’s; the best benefit cost was reached when we used the 6% of avian flour, it allowed to register a benefit per treatment of 1,41 being the most profitable of all treatments, you can also mention that the biggest index productive 1.02 was found when using the indicated level of the livestock input, being the best treatment between different levels of avian flour. Therefore it can be concluded that using 9 % of avian flour allowed the best weights of breeding females, but those levels were not the best for respective production parameters in offspring’s.
