Efecto de la dosis de un inmunocastrador en hembras Cavia Porcellus sobre los índices productivos

Abstract

The objective of the research work was to evaluate the effect of the dose of an immunocastrator in Cavia Porcellus, females on the productive indices, the experiment was carried out at the PRODUCUY Farm in the Salcedo Canton, three treatments were used: T1 (control), T2 (0.15 cc) and T3 (0.25 cc); which were inoculated subcutaneously with the INNOSURE immunocastrator, a first dose was administered at 30 days of age, and the second 15 days later, the evaluation lasted 70 days, daily weight gain values were recorded for T1 11.1 g, T2 11.4 g, T3 10.7 g, total weight gain of 444.1 g for T1, 456.6 g for T2 and 429.5 g for T3, with a feed conversion of 5.0, 4.8 and 5.0, for each treatment respectively, which shows that there were no significant differences between groups, in the same way the carcass yield (%) was identified as follows: 72.0 for T1, 72.3% for T2 and 70.9% for T3, and although there are significant differences in the C/B variable, the control T and T1 (0.15 cc) did not indicate losses in the experiment, because each dollar invested was recovered, a difference from T3 with a C/B of 0.90, this because there was no significant increase in productive parameters, research c It is concluded that the subcutaneous inoculation of the INNOSURE immunocastrator in female guinea pigs did not influence the productive parameters (weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, carcass yield and cost benefit (C/B)).
