SACCHARINA IN RATIOS FOR BROILERS WITH ZEOLITE, SUGAR AND TORULA YEAST

For evaluating the feeding potential of a concentrate with 10% Sacchar ina and a high content of home production raw materials, 540 Cornish x White Plymouth Rock chicks from 4 until 49 days of age were used in t hree treatments: 1) control ration; 2) a ration with 10% Saccharina an d 3) a ration with 10% Saccharina + 5% zeolite + 27 to 33% sugar + 20% torula yeast + 5% soapstock (ICA variant). An analysis of variance ac cording to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 repl ications was carried out. Viability was of 99, 100 and 98%. In treatme nt 3, feaces were more liquid and feathers somewhat dirtier. Liveweigh t at 49 days was 1542, 1607 and 1562 g/bird, Saccharina consumption of 333 and 336 g/bird in treatments 2 and 3 and in that of zeolite of 16 8 g/bird, which reduced consumption of traditional feeds. Conversion o f traditional feeds was of 2.15; 1,93 and 1.90, being significantly hi gher in the control treatment. These results confirm the possibility o f using 10% Saccharina and allow to produce broilers efficiently, when ever 10% Saccharina, 5% zeolite, 27 to 33% sugar, 20% torula yeast and 5% soapstock (67 to 73% of of home product raw materials for feeds) a re available.
