HUEBLA CONCHA, Víctor et al. Calculation of dulcamara kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri dosage on Broiler production parameters in Morona Santiago, Ecuador. Perfiles [online]. 2021, vol.1, n.25, pp.30-36. ISSN 2477-9105.  https://doi.org/10.47187/perf.v1i25.107.

In Morona Santiago province, 4%, 8% and 12% extract of Dulcamara Kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri was used in drinking water in Broiler chickens of the COBB 500 line during the growth and fattening stage in order to reduce their morbidity and mortality compared to a control treatment to reduce production costs. The research design was experimental, quantitative, analytical. A random design with 4 treatments was applied to 100 one-day-old birds, each with 5 repetitions under controlled conditions; Analysis of Variance and the Tukey method were used for information analysis. Statistically there were no significant differences; but with the 4% dulcamara extract a final weight of 2,690.88 g was obtained; 2,646.92 g of weight gained and 1.97 of feed conversion without presenting mortality and morbidity except for the control treatment. The use of Dulcamara extract also resulted in a cost/benefit of US$1.39 by reducing production costs and generating higher profitability. It is concluded that it is advisable to use Dulcamara extract at 4% as an option in Broiler production.
