Evaluación de parámetros bioproductivos en pollos de engorde mediante un programa de producción avícola con aceites esenciales.

Abstract

This Project was carried out in a warehouse owned by the Pacheco Contreras family, located in Canton Milagro, in the province of Guayas. The project was divided into 3 treatments, with three blocks each treatment and with groups of 30 chickens in each block. Being a group the Control with a conventional upbringing without the use of essential oil, Treatment 1 with a dose of essential oil of 8 mg per liter of water and Treatment 2 with a dose 10 mg per liter of water. The objective of the project was to evaluate the doses of Tea Tree essential oil and determine its effect on the bioproductive parameters in broilers. At the end of the project, in the analysis of results it was concluded that Treatment 2, with 25 % more than the recommended dose, obtained better results in the bioproductive parameters, being the group with the lowest cumulative feed conversion of 1.646, a better average weight and the end of its breeding of 3.187 g and with a low mortality of just 3.33 %. Increasing the dose to 25 % of the recommended dose favored the bioproductive parameters of broilers, with essential oil being a better option for the health of consumers and giving greater benefits in production.
