Utilización de Pasta de Sacha Inchi (plukenetia volubilis l.) en la Alimentación de Cuyes de Engorde en el Centro Experimental Académico Salache, Provincia de Cotopaxi.

The present research was carried out in the Salache Experimental Academic Center "CEYPSA" at Technical University of Cotopaxi. The general objective of the research was "To use the pulp of Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) verifying the effect on the performance of guinea pigs fattening to evaluate productive variables such as: gain weight, feed consumption, feed conversion, Mortality, cost – benefit ratio, this trial lasted six weeks. At the present study is used Pasta de Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) as part of guinea pigs diet growth-fattening stage of these animals, thus trying to present a food alternative for small and medium producers of guinea pigs and the exclusive use of forage retards the growth and finishing of this species. At this investigation the design was applied completely at random where 40 weanling Creole male guinea pigs of 4 weeks old were selected, 4 treatments were established with 2 repetitions of 5 animals each, the evaluated treatments were, treatment 1 (100% alfalfa) - treatment 2 (alfalfa + 5% Sacha Inchi Paste) -treatment 3 (alfalfa + 10% Sacha Inchi Paste) - treatment 4 (alfalfa + 15% Sacha Inchi Paste). At the end of the researching it was evidenced that fed guinea pigs with the inclusion of alfalfa + 15% of Sacha Inchi were the ones that reached the best weights compared to the rest of other treatments, having a similar behavior with the rest of the productive variables. Regarding the benefit-cost ratio, the treatment based on only alfalfa reached the best economic redito because for every dollar invested it was gotten 15 cents of profit, followed very closely by treatment 2 based on alfalfa + 5% of Pasta de Sacha Inchi.
