Main Article Content
Abstract
The research was carried out at the "La María" Experimental Farm, Quevedo State Technical University, located at km 7 ½ of the Quevedo - El Empalme road, with a duration of 43 days, the objective was to evaluate the addition of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) in a balanced diet for fattening American turkeys. A completely randomized design was applied with three treatments, five replications, four turkeys, total 60 turkeys in the fattening phase, where in feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion and carcass yield of T3 obtained the best productivity values, while in the control treatment the values were not very efficient in this research. The proximal analysis of the meat of the treatments showed that the highest percentage of protein was obtained in T2 with 24.8%; however, the lowest percentage of fat was in T3 with 0.60%, while in the analysis of ash, the lowest values were found with 1.04% in treatment T2 and 73.94% moisture in treatment T1. The non-parametric statistical analysis of affectivity with hedonic scales of intensity of attributes, which determined that T3 presented the best organoleptic characteristics. The economic analysis carried out for each of the treatments under study in this research shows that T2 was the one with the highest profitability with a profitability of 99.56% compared to the control treatment with a value of 88.63%.
