Respuesta en el desempeño de pollos de angorde al actigen; a un probiótico y al ácido butanoico

Abstract

This research is based on the use of natural growth promoters; the same that will produce a positive effect on the intestinal microflora of the host, in addition to reducing the pH, thereby preventing an enabling environment for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that affect animal health and welfare environment. These additives were supplied in chicken feed. The research work was conducted at the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo, in poultry production. It lasted sixty days. The objective was to evaluate the productive parameters of the chickens, to make the comparative study of three growth promoters: T1 butanoic acid, Probiotic T2, T3 Actigen, compared with T0 witness. 300 chickens cobb line 500 one day old were used. A completely random design was used. The higher production parameters were recorded with the treatment of butanoic. So: more weight for T1 with 3079.41 g was recorded. The greater weight gain with 5387.00 g. The lower feed conversion was obtained with the T1 with 1,78. The greater weight to the channel was obtained with the T1 with 2092.41 g. The best performance was obtained with the channel T1 with 67.93%. Mortality for the three treatments was 0 animals, and for mortality existed T0 2 animals.
