Fortalecimiento del subsistema avícola familiar, considerando la sustitución parcial de la soya en la alimentación de dos líneas de pollos Broiler

Abstract

This research was carried out with the objective of strengthening the family poultry subsystem, considering the partial substitution of soybean in the feed of two lines of Broiler chickens. For which we started with a mixed research of experimental scope where we worked with 200 broiler chickens of the lines Broiler: Ross and Hubbard, which were distributed in 4 compartments of 2.5 x 4 meters giving an area of 10m2, for the bedding was used rice husk with a thickness of 10 cm, the experimental unit was formed with 50 chickens divided into four treatments. T1 (Ross broiler line + soybean feed), T2 (Ross broiler line + feed with partial substitution of soybeans), T3 (Hubbard broiler line + soybean feed) and T4 (Hubbard broiler line + feed with partial substitution of soybeans). After applying the experimental design, it was concluded that the highest selling price of chickens produced is shown in T1, reaching a value of $9.73, taking into account the average cost per kilo according to the distribution zone. It is worth mentioning that T2 also provides a higher profit with a value of $4.50, since the production cost is lower due to the partial substitution of soybeans for beans, which have important protein characteristics, together with the high feed conversion rate of the Ross line, resulting in economic profitability to strengthen the family poultry subsystem.
