Resumen
The nutritional blocks were made with the use of different levels of Amarantus quitensis (Sangoracha) flour and its effect on guinea pig feeding in the fattening stage at the Faculty of Livestock, technical engineering of the zoo, for which 80 guinea pigs were used , 40 females and 40 males, from an improved genetic line, 15 days old and an average weight of 0.36 kg, with three treatments (7.14 and 21%) of sangoracha flour, compared to a control treatment, a design Completely randomized (DCR) with 5 repetitions, the experimental unit size (SUE) was applied, 2 wandering animals. In the experimental results, highly significant differences were registered, obtaining with better treatment results 7% of sangoracha flour in the productive parameters: final weight, weight gain, consumption of block on dry basis, forage consumption, total feed consumption , feed conversion, in the yield to the carcass it was registered that the best treatment is 21% sangoracha flour with 63.41%, in addition it could be verified that when using sangoracha flour there were no production problems. While evaluating male vs. female guinea pigs, highly significant differences (P <0.01) were recorded, in male guinea pigs, with a final weight of 0.95 and a yield to the carcass of 60.77%, while in the weight gain, nutritional block consumption, total food consumption, and carcass weight, no significant differences were found. It was concluded that when using sangoracha flour it is beneficial in guinea pig feeding, so this flour can include more than 75 days. . Recommend more research with sangoracha flour in different species of zootechnical interest: such as birds, rabbits, etc., taking into account that amaranth is considered a product of high nutritional value.
