Abstract

In The Chimborazo Province, Guano Canton, Pungal Parish, in the Farm Animal Husbandry, maralfalfa flour was used to replace the alfarina at different levels (5, 10, 15 and 20); in the diet of guinea ping in cages handled in stages of gestation – lactation and growth – fattening; we worked with 4 treatments to be compared with a control treatment, on 10 receptions. Under a completely randomized design for the stage of gestation – lactation, and growth – fattening combinatorial arrangement of two factors where the factor A are the levels of maralfalfa and the factor B the sex. The results do not show differences between the variables. In analyzing the final weight of breeding (1.79 Kg); weight before delivery (2.24 Kg): with 20% (T4), weight after delivery the T3 (1.66 Kg) weight gain (0.68 Kg) T1. Regarding the pups there was on difference between the variables; but the highest values were for the number of pups at weaning (3.20); litter weight at birth (0.54 Kg) , number of pups at weaning (3.0) litter weigh at weaning (1.09 Kg),registered the T0.The best return had maralfalfa with 15% on the stages of gestation – lactation because a benefit was reached for $1.21 In the fattening phase of growth was observed that the effect of male sex won best weight in relation to females giving a profit of $ 1.27 so it is recommended to use both gestation – lactation and growth – fattening balanced with 15% flour maralfalfa.FCP
