The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive and reproductive performance of the Creole egg hen of green shell eggs of the province of Chota, Cajamarca (Peru). Five hundred eggs were collected and artificially incubated to determine their hatchability. In the resulting chicks, the growth in confinement was evaluated for 16 weeks. Then, the birds were mated (5 females and 1 male) and the production and weight of eggs of six biotypes and the hatchability were determined under natural incubation. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found in the growth and size of the six biotypes evaluated. The birds initiated the oviposition between 17 and 19 weeks of age, with periods of posture of seven weeks interrupted by a broody period that could last up to three weeks. The hatchability was influenced by the conditions and types of incubation.

Se evaluó la inclusión de una premezcla alimenticia de ingredientes no convencionales (PM-INC) en base a lupino, vicia, linaza y trigo como parte del lacto-reemplazante (LR). Se trabajó con 24 terneros machos Holstein cruzados recién nacidos, distribuidos en tres tratamientos: T1: leche entera (LE), T2 (LR-LDMC): LR con 80% leche descremada (LD) + 20% manteca de cerdo, T3 (LR-LDINC): LR con 75% LD + 25% PM-INC. La LE y LR fueron suministrados dese el inicio del experimento hasta el destete (ocho semanas), el alimento iniciador se suministró desde la segunda semana y de heno de alfalfa desde la sexta semana. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos para consumo de alimento, peso vivo, ganancias de peso, ni altura a la cruz. Sin embargo, se encontró un menor costo de ternero destetado por concepto de alimentación en el tratamiento LR-LDINC equivalente a S/.&nbs...

The inclusion of a pre-mix of unconventional ingredients (PM-INC) with lupine, vicia, flaxseed and wheat as part of milk replacer (LR) was evaluated. Twenty-four newborn Holstein male calves, distributed in three treatments were used: T1: whole milk (LE), T2 (LR-LDMC): LR with 80% skim milk (LD) + 20% lard, T3 (LR-LDINC): LR with 75% LD + 25% PM-INC. The LE and LR were supplied from birth to weaning (eight weeks), the starter feed was supplied from the second week and alfalfa hay from the sixth week. No significant differences were observed between treatments for feed consumption, ratio feed/gain, body weight, weight gain, or size. However, a lower cost of weaning calf was found for feeding in the LR-LDINC treatment equivalent to S/. 13.37 less with respect to the treatment LE and S/. 13.51 less with respect to the LR-LDMC treatment. It is concluded that, the Holstein male calf...
