EFFECT OF DIETS BASED ON ALFALFA, BARLEY MEAL AND MINERAL BLOCK ON THE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF GUINEA PIGS

The effect of feed supplementation with barley meal and mineral block on body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion index, slaughter age, production cost and profit/cost ratio was evaluated in guinea pigs fed with alfalfa. A total of 250 male weaned animals were used in a completely randomized block design with a 2x2 factorial arrangement (barley meal x mineral block) and one additional treatment for contrast (balanced diet).Barley meal supplementation significantly improved (p<0.05) body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion index, benefit cost ratio and decreased slaughter age while mineral block supplementation only decreased slaughter age (p<0.05). On the other hand,plain forage without supplements and forage plus barley meal showed the best economic results.

Se evaluó el efecto de la suplementación con harina de cebada y bloque mineralsobre la ganancia de peso, consumo, índice de conversión alimenticia, edad de saca,costo de producción y relación beneficio-costo en cuyes en crecimiento alimentadoscon alfalfa. Se utilizaron 250 cuyes machos destetados, en un diseño de bloques completosal azar con arreglo factorial 2x2 (harina de cebada x bloque mineral), más un quintotratamiento para fines de contraste (concentrado integral). La suplementación con harinade cebada mejoró significativamente (p<0.05) la ganancia de peso, consumo, índicede conversión, relación beneficio-costo y, consecuentemente, la edad de saca, en tantoque la suplementación con bloque mineral solo tuvo un efecto significativo para la edadde saca (p<0.05). Asimismo, el forraje sin suplemento y el forraje más harina de cebadapresentaron el mejor rendimiento económico.
