Evaluación de diferentes niveles de inclusión de Trichanthera gigantea en dietas sobre parámetros productivos de pollos finqueros

Backyard poultry farming has gained popularity in rural populations due to the quality of the meat produced, which has experienced a growing demand, especially in the gastronomic tourism sector in the province of Zamora Chinchipe. In response to this trend, we evaluated the introduction of food alternatives, such as incorporating a diet with pot-bellied broiler Trichanthera gigantea, an abundant species in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We worked with 150 broilers from day 29 to 70 days of age, fed a balanced diet with different levels of Trichanthera gigantea (0 %, 5 %, 10 %); we assigned each treatment to 5 groups of 10 birds, where we evaluated the productive parameters; average daily gain GMD, average daily consumption CMD, feed conversion, mortality and profitability of each diet, we recorded the results and processed in SAS software, giving as a result that the 0% group obtained better GMD (1791 g) and CA (2.13), while the 5% group achieved a higher CMD (3646 g), in the whole trial there was a mortality of 3.3% and, we obtained the diet with the best profitability in the 0% control treatment since there was no difference in the prices for quality. In conclusion, including Trichanthera gigantea in diets for slow-growing birds is a valid option for the gastronomic tourism market segment since its meat is well accepted due to its presentation.
