Therefore, the objective of this work is to determine the nutritional value of the flour of the dragonfly larva (Anisóptera) as a dietary alternative for guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus). This work was developed in the town of Latacunga, Cotopaxi province, Ecuador. We used 24 animals 15 days old using an ANOVA analysis of variance, with three treatments and two repetitions each; these consisted of the evaluation of alfalfa (T1), commercial feed (T2) and balanced feed with larval flour (T3) as an alternative in the diet of Cavia porcellus. The variables initial weight, final and winning, food convertion were determined. Determining in this way that the food based on larval flour presents superior yields to the other alternatives, ending up validating the hypothesis raised and reaffirming the flour of this insect as an excellent food alternative, which, entails about a 78% additional cost in terms of the current food market. |
