Evaluación del rendimiento de conejos Neozelandes en la fase crecimiento engorde con panela en el alimento balanceado en tres porcentajes (0, 5, 10, 15) mas alfalfa en la parroquia Gabriel Ignacio Veintimilla, cantón Guaranda, provincia Bolívar

Abstract

This research was conducted in the parish Gabriel Ignacio Veintimilla Guaranda Canton, Bolivar Province is located at 2,469 meters, with an average temperature of 14.5 ° C. With an average annual rainfall of 900 mm and an annual heliophany light 930 hours / year, which raised the following objectives: To evaluate the performance of New Zealand rabbits in the growth phase - fattening with the use of sugarcane in three rates (0, 5 , 10, 15%) in the feed more alfalfa, in the Parish Gabriel Ignacio Veintimilla, Canton Guaranda - Province of Bolivar. Set the productive performance of New Zealand rabbits were fed with different levels balanced by adding more brown sugar alfalfa during the growing season - fattening. Determining the costs of production and profitability through the indicator benefit / cost. In the execution of work used 32 male rabbits of New Zealand race of 45 days old and weighing 0,769 kg average, they were placed in metal cages for a random drawing prior to treatment to establish that it deserves. The balanced developed at the plant balanced Bolivar State University based on the different levels of brown sugar used (0, 5, 10, 15%), feeding the animals was performed daily at the same time (8H00, 16H00), the food was supplied in equal amounts to each individual, this effect is both balanced weight previously as fodder. That supply of green fodder were 150 g per day per animal during the first thirty days of investigation, for thirty days each rabbit was given an amount of 250 grams daily and the last third of the work I contribute 350 grams per day for each rabbit. Balanced relative to the amounts provided panela were 50 grams per animal per day during the first month for the second month will be provided 100 grams per day per animal in the last month I provide 150 grams per animal per day. The fresh water made it twice daily or when they require. The animals were weighed every 15 days to record the data proposed in the research, also verified daily if there was mortality of animals, but in this case there were no low. In economic analysis considering the sale of breeding animals for breeding and with reference to the final weights to establish the cost (3.50 dollars per kg of live weight) found higher returns when they are food supply with the balanced containing different levels of sugar, from which to use 15% was obtained a yield of 28% or whatever it is the same as a benefit / cost ratio of 1.28, so depending on the economic analysis may indicate that the use of balanced with 15% favoring panela production and economic behavior in the rabbit production as they reach higher weights and weight gains, feed 110 conversion more efficient, lower production costs and increased profitability, which exceed the current bank interest rates, if considered a fixed-term economic investment. In production costs was set up to save 24 cents per kg of weight gain, comparing the costs of production in the control group with the use of 15% of panela (1.43 versus $ 1.19, respectively). With the balanced containing 15% of sugarcane is reached the highest economic return of 28% (B / C of 1.18), which is higher by 10 points compared to that achieved with control animals (B / C of 1.08 .)
