Evaluación de parámetros productivos y económicos de dos sistemas de alimentación en la producción de cerdos de ceba

Abstract

Abstract: In the Loja canton, pig production is a common practice, but it is limited in methods, techniques, facilities and beliefs. Its consumption is high, for this reason, we propose a production system in order to carry out a comparative analysis of two types of food rations for the fattening pig line (Sus scrofa domesticus). The variables to measure are: production costs, profitability analysis, feed conversion and at the end of production to know the percentage of profit obtained by marketing the pigs to the consumer. 60 pigs were used, 30 for each group. The treatments consisted of T1 (balanced pelletized in stages), T2 (commercial concentrate 40%, corn 50%, sugar cane and banana 10%), in a semi-intensive system. For the statistical analysis, the SPSS program (version 24) was used, where a comparison was made between treatments, feed conversion (weight every 15 days), production costs, and profitability index. The most efficient feed conversion was presented by T1 with 2.65 in efficiency. The cost and profitability analysis were presented by T2 with a significant difference compared to treatment T1. The sale of pigs was made by the average weight and an average value of sale in the current market in the Loja canton.
