Comportamiento productivo de pollos camperos con el uso de probióticos en agua de bebida.

Abstract

In this research, the use of commercial probiotics diluted in the drinking water of broilers in their productive behavior was evaluated. The probiotics were added to the water from the first week of life to the sixth week of production. 120 one-day-old free-range chickens were evaluated using a completely randomized block design with three treatments (4, 6 and 8 ml/L of commercial probiotic) and a conventional control, and the variables of weight gain, conversion food and percentage of mortality. The results showed that there were significant differences in weight gain between Treatment 1 (4 ml/ L) with 4796,85g g, Treatment 2 (6 ml/L) with 4848,32 g and Treatment 3 (8 ml/L) with 4908,92 g. The effects of the addition of probiotics for the determination of the feed conversion variable presented highly significant differences, in treatment 3 with a conversion of 1,65.
