Resumen
GUZMAN G, Isabel et al. Productive performance of guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) supplemented with three levels of sodium butyrate in the diet. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.3, pp.1092-1098. ISSN 1609-9117. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v30i3.16594.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with sodium butyrate (BS) on productive performance in fattening guinea pigs. Fifty 14-21 days old weaned male guinea pigs were randomly distributed in five treatments (0, 100, 200, 300 ppm of BS, 200 ppm of Zn-Bacitracin). Body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion were evaluated 70 days after supplementation. No response patterns were detected due to BS or Zn-Bacitracin treatments. It is concluded that, under the experimental conditions, supplementation with BS did not improve the productive parameters evaluated.
