Respuesta productiva de la adición de selenio orgánico como promotor de crecimiento en cerdos de engorde

Abstract

The association did not have animals fed with organic selenium (SEL-PLEX), which acts as a growth promoter, helps to improve quality, maintain healthy animals, and increase production to obtain greater profitability in swine production, therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the productive response to the addition of organic selenium as a growth promoter in fattening pigs. The research had a duration of 65 days and was carried out in the Association of Agricultural Production Chitos and Associates Asoproachia Km. 38 via Auca Dayuma, 20 pigs were selected with 90 days of age with an average weight of 32.62 kg for the control treatment and 31.77 kg for the control treatment, then the samples were separated into two groups, 10 pigs with Sel-Plex treatment and 10 without treatment, the treatment of the pigs was added 0.012g of Sel-Plex for each 45 kg bag of feed, taking into account 3 particles per million recommended in the production of this species, the diet of the pigs was 2.57 kg per animal in each meal provided. Results were obtained from the seventh week to week 10 of the experiment, the control treatment pigs had in general 5 percent more live weight compared to the control treatment. It is concluded that the inclusion of organic selenium in swine production provided better results by increasing the daily weight gain of the pig, of all the experimental measurements mortality was not an acceptable method in our research, a cost benefit of USD 1.37 was obtained in the control treatment as opposed to the control treatment with USD 1.56.
