Harinas de moringa (Moringa oleífera) y yuca (Manihot esculenta) como alternativa en alimentación de cerdos en etapa de crecimiento

Pig producers are constantly searching for solutions to reduce production costs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate moringa (Moringa oleifera) and cassava (Manihot Esculenta) flours as an alternative in the feeding of growing pigs. Thus, through an experimental research and a completely randomized block design, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was developed to evaluate the productive parameters: weight, daily feed consumption, weekly weight gain, feed conversion, and an economic review for each treatment. Therefore, four treatments were applied corresponding to T1 (moringa meal), T2 (cassava meal), T3 (mixture of moringa and cassava meal) and T4 (commercial feed) for a total of 40 pigs (10 pigs per treatment). According to the methodological design, from 5% to 40% of substitute feed, either moringa meal, cassava or mixed, was provided with respect to the base feed (commercial). The results obtained showed that Treatment 3, a mixture of cassava and moringa meal (20% and 20% of 37.50 kg of daily feed) together with Treatment 1 (moringa meal at 40%) were the best, with a final weight at stage 10 of 40.96 kg for T3 and 34.91 kg in T1, allowing to observe a higher performance in the production of pigs. It is concluded that the use of moringa and cassava meal in swine feed is a favorable alternative from the nutritional and economic point of view.
