Adecuación e instalación de una área de faenamiento semiautomático para cuyes y conejos en el programa de especies menores de la Facultad de Ciencias Pecuarias

Abstract

This work was done in the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo; Faculty of Animal Science, School of Engineering Zootechnics, Laboratory of Minor Species, in which a semi-automatic plant was installed to guinea pig and rabbits slaughter, the treatments used in the plant were compare the traditional slaughter, with the mechanical; for it was used the analysis of variance t-student. At the end the evidence it is determined that the fish traditionally guinea pigs slaughter, was obtained efficiency of slaughter of 45%, time of slaughter of 10.4 minutes, shrinkage of 199,6g weight wing channel 539,8g and a channel performance and a wing of 70,13%, nevertheless by employing the equipment there is an improving the parameters evaluated, showing and efficiency of 80%, time of slaughter of 5,6 minutes; shrinkage of 194,8g weight wing channel 555,2g, and a channel performance and a wing of 76,51%; similarly, data made to operate manually rabbits in which the efficiency of slaughter were 45%, time of slaughter of 22,6 minutes, shrinkage of 675g, weight wing channel 3489,88g and a channel performance and a wing of 58,82%; by employing the equipment showed an efficiency of slaughter of 80%, time of slaughter of 9,2 minutes, shrinkage of 915g, weight wing channel 3668,65g and a channel performance and a wing of 61,94%. From the results presented, it is recomended to implement this type of plant on farms: cavícolas and cunícolas, for its efficiency and aseptically on carcasses.
