Abstract

CHAVEZ GARCIA, Debbie; VERA VERA, Joseph  and  LOZAN, Néstor Acosta. Effect of the Boldenone anabolic on the productive performance ofguinea pigs. RCTU [online]. 2019, vol.6, n.2, pp.1-7. ISSN 1390-7697.  https://doi.org/10.26423/rctu.v6i2.423.

The use of anabolic as enhancers of growth in the production of minor species have turned out to be profitable as shown by research done at a national and international level, here tested in Santa Elena province. For this investigation, 4 treatments were established by different doses of Boldenona defined like: T1 = 0,025ml, T2 = 0,035ml, T3 = 0,045ml and T4 = witness; each one with 7 repetitions. The food regime was based on alfalfa as fresh forage dosed according to the stages of production of the guinea pigs. The variables for evaluating this test are the food consumption (CA), profit of weight (GP), index of food conversion (ICA) and the relation Benefit / cost for every gram of meat produced, the same ones that were evaluated in a weekly agenda.

On the basis of the obtained results one emphasizes that the best treatment with regard to the variables of GP and CA is the T2 where there were reached values of 1053,42g/ff/weekly and 17,82g/weekly by treatment; the ICA's best value was obtained in the T4 by 3,9. The best treatment as for the cost for gram of meat in produced foot is the T1 (0,025ml) with a cost of $0,02g of meat per week. Finally, the evaluated variables do not present statistical significant differences, but in the practice, the earnings of weight and indexes of food conversion that were obtained represent profitability productivity for the systems of exploitation of these species.
