Abstract
A nivel latinoamericano, la región interandina se ha caracterizado por la producción y el consumo de la carne de cuy (Cavia porcellus), alimento tradicional que se perpetúa y a través del tiempo, en la actualidad, las granjas cuyícolas mediante el establecimiento de sistemas de producción intensiva abastecen la demanda de clientes potenciales especializados en la preparación de comida tradicional, fundamentalmente sustentada en platos con cuyes en diferentes presentaciones. Un adecuado manejo de la producción del cuy se convierte en una necesidad imprescindible para obtener carne de alta calidad y con un rendimiento óptimo en la canal; propósitos que se alcanzan a través de la gonadectomía o castración, ya que acelera el proceso de crecimiento, limita el comportamiento agresivo y evita cicatrices en la piel, a su vez una baja conversión alimenticia. La aplicación de sustancias esclerosas en la castración química resulta beneficiosa, por lo cual los cobayos no presentarán estrés ni dolor. El objetivo general de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la castración química en cobayos en etapa de crecimiento mediante la comparación del cloruro de sodio al 4% y ácido cítrico. El trabajo experimental fue desarrollado en la provincia del Carchi, cantón Montúfar, cuidad San Gabriel, barrio San José. En la presente investigación se utilizó el diseño estadístico DCA, para aplicar dos sustancias esclerosas diferentes (T2 y T3 y un testigo T1), para el efecto se seleccionaron cobayos de raza Perú mediante buenos criterios de bienestar animal, identificados, registrados y distribuidos en distintos grupos. Los datos de rendimiento demuestran la utilidad de este estudio, presentando resultados sobre conversión alimenticia, ganancia de peso y análisis de comportamiento a través del análisis Adeva y prueba Tukey, por lo tanto, los resultados demuestran que la opción de castración utilizada a través de la aplicación de sustancias esclerosas es muy eficaz para efectuar un alto rendimiento a la canal.
At the Latin American level, the inter-Andean region has been characterized by the production and consumption of guinea pig meat (Cavia porcellus), a traditional food that is perpetuated and over time, currently, guinea pig farms through the establishment of production systems intensive supply the demand of potential clients specialized in the preparation of traditional food, very sustained in dishes with guinea pigs in different presentations. Proper management of guinea pig production becomes an essential need to obtain high-quality meat with optimal performance in the carcass; purposes that are achieved through gonadectomy or castration, since it accelerates the growth process, limits aggressive behavior and prevents scarring of the skin, as well as low feed conversion. The application of sclerotic substances in chemical castration is beneficial, for which the guinea pigs do not present stress or pain. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of chemical castration in guinea pigs in the growth stage by comparing 4% sodium chloride and citric acid. The experimental work was developed in the province of Carchi, Montúfar canton, San Gabriel city, San José neighborhood. In the present investigation, the DCA statistical design was adopted, to apply two different sclerotic substances (T2 and T3 and a control T1), for this purpose guinea pigs of the Peru breed were selected through good animal welfare criteria, identified, registered and distributed in different groups. The performance data shows the usefulness of this study, presenting results on feeding, weight gain and behavior analysis through the Adeva analysis and Tukey test, therefore, the results show that the castration option used through the application of sclerotic substances is very effective to carry out a high yield to the carcass.
