Resumen
Este proyecto consistió en evaluar el uso de remanentes de cítricos para reemplazar el 15 % y el 30 % del alimento concentrado de pollo convencional. Hubo tres tratamientos con 23 pollos cada uno. Los tratamientos consistieron en los siguientes porcentajes de concentrado: T1 = 100 %, T2 = 85 % y T3 = 70 %. El T2 y T3 tenían remanentes de cítricos a libre consumo. Una vez que se instaló el proyecto, los datos de ganancia de peso de los pollos se tomaron semanalmente para cada tratamiento. Esto se hizo para evaluar (1) el impacto que tuvo el tratamiento en la ganancia de peso; y (2) si hubo una reducción significativa en los costos de producción. Los resultados obtenidos se utilizaron para recomendar sobre (a) cuál fue el tratamiento más apropiado para implementar; y (b) duración de la producción en semanas. En la semana 7, los tratamientos tuvieron el siguiente aumento de peso promedio por pollo: (a) T1 = 3006 g; (b) T2 = 2687 g; y (c) T3: 2472 g. Sin embargo, bajo las condiciones climáticas en las que se realizó de este estudio, se recomienda sacar los pollos en la semana 6, ya que presentaron un menor costo de alimentación en comparación con la semana 7. Los costos promedios para semana 6 fueron: T1 = 0,66 CRC, T2 = 0,61 CRC y para T3 = 0,65 CRC, mientras que los costos para semana 7 fueron: T1 = 0,73 CRC, T2 = 0,70 y T3 = 0,66 CRC. Por esta razón, se concluye que el mejor tratamiento fue el T2, con una duración de 6 semanas.
This project consisted in evaluating the use of citrus remnants to replace 15 % and 30 % of conventional chicken concentrate. There were three treatments with 23 chickens each. The treatments consisted of the following concentrate percentages: T1 = 100 %, T2 = 85 % and T3 = 70 %. T2 and T3 had citrus remnants on free consumption. Once the project was installed, chicken weight gain data was taken weekly for each treatment. This was done in order to evaluate (1) the impact the treatment had on weight gain; and (2) if there was a significant reduction in production costs. The results obtained were used to recommend on (a) what was the most appropriate treatment to be implemented; and (b) production duration in weeks. On week 7, the treatments had the following average weight gains per chicken: (a) T1 = 3006 g; (b) T2 = 2687 g; and (c) T3: 2472 g. However, under the climatic conditions in which this study was conducted, it is recommended to remove the chickens in week 6, since they presented a lower feeding cost compared to week 7. The average costs for week 6 were: T1 = 0,66 CRC, T2 = 0,61 CRC and for T3 = 0,65 CRC, while the costs for week 7 were: T1 = 0,73 CRC, T2 = 0,70 CRC and T3 = 0,66 CRC. For this reason, it is concluded that the best treatment was T2, with a duration of 6 weeks.
