Diferencias de los requerimientos nutricionales entre distintas líneas de pollos de engorde que se comercializan en Ecuador

Abstract

The present work is based on the comparative study of the main nutritional constituents maintained by the various broiler chicken lines that are marketed in our country, in order to establish the most suitable for obtaining efficient production, from the point of view of adaptability, resistance and assimilation capacity of the poultry species in such a way that it allows obtaining a high feed conversion, manifested in the weight gain that guarantees the cost-benefit relationship and therefore the sustainability of a productive poultry program.In the productive sector, several factors are considered, such as: improved genetics, efficient nutrition, proper management and appropriate control of environmental conditions. In this sense, the need for technical nutrition based on quality nutritional requirements is emphasized from the nutritional components contained in the lines that commercialize chicken fattening feed in Ecuador, based on the pertinent food standards that guarantee a production of quality.
