Inclusión de niveles de expellerde algodón en la alimentación de ovinos confinados: comportamiento productivo, características de la canal y calidad de la carne

“…On the other hand, FC was linearly improved by 32% at 14 days; while at 28 days an improvement of 19.91% was observed (Figure 2) only with the inclusion of 15% (T2) and after 42 days, conversion decreased linearly by 32%. The FC improvement up to 28 days and subsequent decrease in parallel to DMI by including the cottonseed meal, could be a consequence of the cumulative toxic of ingested gossypol effect on the liver and kidney (Kim et al, 1996;Gadelha et al, 2014), in addition to causing anorexia in animals (Velasquez-Pereira et al, 1998); whose degree of toxicity depends on the animal age, with youngsters being more susceptible (Rocha, 2016;Mello et al, 2018) and adults tolerant (Assis et al, 2019). In study, 7.5 months of age were used, which allows us to infer that they are moderately resistant to said toxicity, so they responded well in the two initial periods of the experiment and then decreased ingestion and feed conversion.…”
