Comportamiento productivo de pollos broilers utilizando ácidos orgánicos en el agua de bebida.

Abstract

The present research work aimed to evaluate the productive parameters with the use of organic acids in drinking water in broiler chickens, from the growth phase to completion, respectively weeks (3, 4, 5 and 6) with the application of two types of vinegars (banana and apple). The dose given was 5 cc/ltr in the following treatments: T2 (Banana vinegar) resulting in a dilution at 4.50 pH and T3 (Apple cider vinegar) at 4.70 pH. A Completely Random Design (DCA) with four repetitions was used; Productive parameters were evaluated, among these are water consumption, feed conversion, mortality, and other factors such as hydrogen potential and economic analysis in cost-benefit ratio. The percentage of inclusion of organic acids in the treatments showed a correct acceptance by the birds. A higher consumption was observed in dilution with banana vinegar T2 (Banana vinegar) 24.22 liters and T3 (Apple cider vinegar) compared to (T1 Control) 24.22 liters. The acidification of water in the T3 males (Apple cider vinegar) evidenced the best feed conversion of 1.65. In the economic analysis, T3 (Apple cider vinegar) demonstrated the best cost-benefit ratio with a rate of return of 0.19 ctvs., for every dollar invested.
