Food, diet, wight, conversion and feed efficiencyAbstract
Swine feed is based on conventional systems with high-cost inputs, which makes this activity less profitability than expected. This study determined the effect of an alternative diet feeding fattening pigs versus commercial food on the zootechnical parameters; It was held at the pig farm the Abejonal, sidewalk PIT municipality Valle de San José (Santander) located at 1,250 meters above sea level with temperature of 23 ° C and precipitation 1,717 mm. 9 crossover pigs (Duroc x Landrace x Pietrain) age of 3 months and a weight of 50kg were used; the animals were kept in individual cages, the experimental period was 45 days with eight days of adaptation. Weighing every 15 days. The treatments T1 Control, alternative food T2, T3 50% + 50% commercial feed alternative food, variables were weight gain, consumption, cost-benefit ratio, conversion and feed efficiency; completely randomized design. The experimental units (castrated male pigs) showed no significant difference (p <0.05), diet alternative tube zootechnical better behavior and greater utility. Non-commercial food increases the profitability of pig production without altering its productive and physiological state.
