Análisis de la aplicación de un lactoreemplazante en cerdo para el periodo de pre-destete y el estudio de su efecto en la productividad de la descendencia tomando en cuenta a la condición corporal de la madre, en la Industria “Chanchito Induchan S.A.”.

Abstract

Milk replacers have been a good source of nutrients that help farm pigs to have higher weaning weights without affecting the body condition of the mother. For this reason, the objective of this research work will be to evaluate the productivity of piglets in the pre-weaning stage with the application of a milk replacer. The place where it will be held will be in the Industry Chanchito Induchan S.A. located in "El Triunfo" to a sample of 60 pigs divided into two groups, so the study will be of an experimental type, with a quantitative methodology and with a correlational scope using ANOVA for the processing of the dependent variables, mainly the weight of the piglets at birth, weekly weight gain and weaning weight. In addition to considering aspects related to the mother and the perceived costs. According to consulted literature, milk replacers can have positive effects even after weaning, including the performance of piglets and sows; at the same time reducing mortality during lactation because its use reduces the risk of infections caused by external agents (Yu, 2019; Casco, 2020; Wellock et al., 2020). Finally, the application of milk replacers is recommended on farms with large litters because factors such as management costs must be taken into account.
