“Composición química del ensilaje de pasto saboya Ppanicum máximum) en diferentes edades de corte, con la inclusión de aceite de palma africana (Elaeis

The present research work took place in the campus "La María", premises of the Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo (UTEQ), which is located at km 7 of the Quevedo-El Empalme road, near the San Felipe campus in the Mocache district in the province of Los Ríos. For the development of the research a completely randomized design with a bifactorial arrangement was used, being the first factor the ages of cut of the savoy grass (40 and 50 days) and the second factor the percentage of inclusion of the palm oil in the silage (0, 2 and 4%). The combination of all of them conformed 6 treatments and 4 repetitions, which obtained different averages which were compared by means of Tukey's test (p≤ 0,05). As for the main objective of the research, it was intended to determine the chemical composition of the silages under study, through the evaluation of variables such as dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, fat, ash, energy and carbohydrates, obtaining a great variability in the results, standing out in terms of crude protein, ash and carbohydrates T1 with values of 7.91, 13.17 and 37.46% respectively; on the other hand, both in dry matter, crude fiber and energy, T6 was superimposed with records of 26.32, 42.34% and 2049.54 kcal/100g. As for the percentage of NDF and NFO, T4 stood out with 72.03 and 35.65% respectively. Finally, the highest percentage of fat was presented by T3 with 24.46%. Keywords: Conservation, silage, savoy grass, palm oil, chemical composition
