Efecto de tres niveles de calidad de alimento balanceado (premium, económico y artesanal) sobre el comportamiento productivo de cerdos en etapa de preceba.

Abstract

The research under the title "Effect of three levels of balanced feed quality (premium, economic and artisanal) on the productive behavior of pigs in the pre-fattening stage" responds to the nutritional paradigm, determining the impact on productive efficiency by the use of artisanal balanced products (made by pig producers) in the face of a technological upturn in the balanced feed industry. This study was carried out in 15 pigs in the pre-fattening stage, distributed in three groups of five animals, three treatments were applied corresponding to the balanced feed strata (Premium, economic and artisanal). The variables analyzed were: Weight gain and feed conversion. The results obtained in Premium as the best, giving a significant difference between Premium and artisan, Economic and artisan. The use of Premium food is therefore recommended, based on the results considering it as having the best performance, both in nutritional value, as well as a better technological level in its preparation.
