Utilización de diferentes niveles de semilla de Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis), en conejos neozelandeses en la etapa de gestación - lactancia

Abstract

At FCP-CIZ, ESPOCH, minor species program, the feed of Zealander rabbits was evaluated with different levels of Inchi Sacha seed (2, 4 and 6 %) in the stage of gestation-lactation, compared to a control treatment. The size of the experimental unit was of one animal, and a completely randomized design was applied. The results indicated that mothers fed with 6% obtained the best post-birth weight (3931,67 g) the number of breedings at birth experimented significant differences, obtaining the best value with 0% an 2% with 9,50 and 8,33 breedings, according to the weight of breedings at weaning, highly significant differences were shown recording the best response with 6% (751,33), because the content of Inchi Sacha increased, the weight of breedings at weaning increased, in the number of breedings at weaning the best performance was with 0,2 and 4% reporting values of 7,33; 7,17 and 7, which did not differ statistically. For feeding consumption both balanced eating and the forage, no statistical differences were recorded. The highest economic efficiency was recorded with the application of 4% Inchi Sacha flour because a profit of $ 1, 48 was reported which represented a profitability of 48% that exceeded the profitability of other treatments 0, 2 and 6%, with which the profitability of 29, 26 and 29% was obtained respectively.
