Evaluación del fruto del caulote (Guazuma ulmifolia, Lam) en la alimentación de terneros.
In order to evaluate caulote fruit (Guazuma ulmifolia, Lam) as a feedstuff; Holstein steers were fed corn silage alone and supplemented with a concentrate containing 0, 15, 30 and 45% of caulote flour. Levels up to 30% did not result in changes in animal performance, but higher levels decreased silage consumption, which resulted in lower daily gain lveights Digestibility of dry matter determined in 9 steers was the same for the control ration and for the ration containing 55.8% of caulote flour, but digestibility of protein and crude fiber was lower for the latter ration, It is proposed that caulote may constitute an additional ingredient for animal feeding.
