Effect of oral and injectable mineral supplements on morphologic development of zebu crossbred heifers
Mineral nutrition is important to determine cattle productivity, for that reason, oral and parenteral mineral supplements promising to improve growth and body development have been introduced to Costa Rica market. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of the use of an oral and two parenteral supplements weight and morphology of Bos indicus × Bos taurus heifers. The work was carried out from April 2014 to February 2015, in the Animal Production Farm at Los Diamantes Experimental Station, Guápiles, Costa Rica. 42 heifers, allotted in seven pens, and stratified by weight, received the following treatments: T0 (n=6): common salt + saline solution injection. T1 (n=12): oral mineral supplement (SMO) + injected saline solution. T2 (n=12): SMO + butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin injection. T3 (n=12): SMO + phosphorylcolamine, selenium, iodine and zinc injection. Injections were administered monthly (dose: 1 ml/20 kg BW, intramuscularly administered). Weight and average daily gain were measured monthly, withers height (AC), hip height (ANC), pins width (ANI), body length (LC), transversal pelvian index (IPT) and proportionality (IP) were measured bimonthly. T1 increased ANC one centimetre over T0 (p < 0,001) and T2 increased IP four units over T1 (p=0.009), without differences with T3. In both cases significant time*treatment interactions were detected. Other variables were not affected. Parenteral supplements evaluated did not produce benefits on morphology or weight of heifers, if they received oral mineral supplements.

La nutrición mineral es clave en la productividad del ganado bovino, por eso se han introducido al mercado costarricense productos orales y parenterales que prometen favorecer el crecimiento y desarrollo corporal. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto del uso de un suplemento mineral oral y dos inyectables en la ganancia diaria de peso, medidas corporales e índices zoométricos en novillas mestizas Bos taurus × Bos indicus. La investigación se efectuó entre abril de 2014 y febrero de 2015 en la Finca de Producción Animal en la Estación Experimental Los Diamantes, Guápiles, Costa Rica. Se sometió a 42 novillas, divididas en siete corrales y estratificadas por peso, a los siguientes tratamientos: T0 (n=6): sal blanca + inyección de solución salina, T1 (n=12): suplemento multimineral oral (SMO) + inyección de salina, T2 (n=12): SMO + inyección de butafosfán y cianocobalamina, T3 (n=12) SMO + inyección de fosforilcolamina, selenio, yodo y zinc. Las inyecciones se administraron mensualmente (dosis: 1 ml/20 kg PV, vía intramuscular). Se determinó mensualmente el peso, y bimestralmente la altura a la cruz (AC), ancho de caderas (ANC) e isquiones (ANI), largo del cuerpo (LC), los índices pelviano transversal (IPT) y de proporcionalidad (IP). El tratamiento T1 aumentó el ANC en un centímetro respecto a T0 (p < 0,001), y el T2 aumentó el IP cuatro unidades respecto a T1 (p = 0,009), sin diferencias con T3. En ambos casos la interacción tratamiento*tiempo fue significativa (p<0.05). Otras variables no fueron afectadas por el tratamiento. El uso de los suplementos parenterales empleados no benefició la morfología o el peso de novillas, si estas reciben suplementación oral.
