Evaluación del efecto de amoniaco en galpones de pollos de engorde en diferentes niveles de altura de camas.

Abstract

This research work was carried out at the Limoncito farm, located at km 30 via the coast, Santa Elena Canton, Santa Elena Province. The project was divided into 2 treatments, with 3 blocks each treatment and groups of 30 chickens in each block. Taking treatment 1 with a bed height of 10 cm above ground level, while treatment 2 at a bed height of 15 cm above ground level. The objective of the project was to evaluate the effect of ammonia in broiler houses at different levels of litter height and see if there are changes in the bioproductive parameters. At the end of the project, it was concluded that with a 15 cm high bed, treatment 2 obtained a higher ammonia production compared to treatment 1, since the emissions were higher in 4 weeks. In addition, the higher the relative humidity, the higher the ammonia emission was obtained, and the temperature significantly influences the increase in the ammonia emission. In bioproductive parameters such as feed conversion, it was observed that the treatments were exceeded by the allowed parameters with (6.66 %) T1 and (9.27 %) T2. Treatment 1 had the best average weight at the end of its breeding with 3286 and the highest mortality with 30.00 % in the 3 blocks of T2. T2 being the bed that retains more moisture and produces ammonia, increasing mortality.
