INCLUSIÓN DE DIFERENTES NIVELES DE MICROORGANISMOS EFICIENTES EN CERDOS (Sus scrofa domesticus) EN LA ETAPA DE CRECIMIENTO.

Abstract

Ecuador, despite being a reference country in the agricultural issue, presents deficiencies in said sector, especially in the pig area, this problem is exacerbated by the lack of knowledge that producers have about the alternatives that exist to achieve better productive performance in the pig reducing its cost of production. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the effect of the use of different levels of efficient microorganisms as growth promoters in pigs; was carried out at the Faculty of Zootechnical Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí, Chone extension, located at coordinates 0°41'17.9"S 80°07'24.2"W. For the field work, 16 mestizo weaned pigs with an age of fifty days were used, which were distributed in a completely random design, with four treatments and four repetitions each and one pig as an experimental unit, the four treatments were distributed as : T0 (control treatment), T1 with the inclusion of 25 ml, T2 with the inclusion of 50 ml and T3 with the inclusion of 75 ml of microorganism; the variables evaluated were: initial weight, final weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion. An inferential statistical analysis was performed where it was obtained as a result that there are no significant differences in each of the variables. Therefore, it is concluded that with the inclusion of 75 ml of efficient microorganisms in the feeding of pigs, the productive parameters of the pig were improved.
