Se utilizaron 9 novillos Brahman con un peso inicial prom. de 217.07 kg, distribuidos al azar entre 9 agricultores participantes. Se utilizo un diseno de bloques al azar con diferentes replicaciones y 2 tratamientos. El tratamiento 1 consistio en alimentar 4 animales de manera tradicional como testigo y el tratamiento 2, en 5 animales suplementados con trozos de yuca y harina de hojas de Leucaena, durante un periodo de engorde de 5 meses. En el tratamiento 1 el ganado estuvo atado y alimentado con forraje, con un tiempo de pastoreo de 7 h/dia y alimentado en la tarde con forraje fresco de corte de leguminosas. El ganado del tratamiento 2 (suplementado) fue alimentado en confinamiento con min. restriccion de movimiento y una cantidad de forraje no superior a 2 kg de MS/animal/dia. El peso del ganado suplementado tuvo un incremento superior al testigo, pero la diferencia no fue significativa (P mayor que 0.05). El ganado suplementado tuvo un prom. de ganancia diaria de peso significativamente mayor (P menor que 0.05) en comparacion con el ganado testigo. El consumo de MS total fue significativamente mayor (P menor que 0.05) en el ganado suplementado que en el ganado testigo. La tendencia sigue el mismo patron para el consumo de MS que el porcentaje del peso corporal pero a niveles de probabilidad inferiores (P menor que 0.05). La eficiencia de alimentacion del ganado suplementado fue similar al del ganado testigo. Los costos de produccion del ganado suplementado fueron significativamente superiores (P menor que 0.05) a los del ganado testigo. La utilizacion de trozos de yuca y harina de hojas de Leucaena como alimento para ganado de engorde no fue rentable en este estudio. (RA-CIAT) spa
Nine high grade Brahman steers with an av. initial wt. of 217.05 kg were used in the expt. The animals were distributed at random to 9 farmer cooperators. The expt. was conducted following a completely randomized design (CRD) with unequal replications using 2 treatments. Treatment 1 consisted of 4 animals fed by the usual farmers' way as control and treatment 2 with 5 animals supplemented with cassava chips and Leucaena leaf meal. The feeding trial was a 5-mo. period of fattening. The cattle in treatment 1 (control) were tethered and fed with roughage. They were allowed to graze for 7 h/day and then given cut-and-carry fresh legumes in the evening. Treatment 2 (supplemented) were stall-fed with minimal tethering and given not more than 2.00 kg DM/head/day for roughage. The supplemented cattle had higher increase in wt. than the control cattle but the difference was not significant (P greater than 0.05). The supplemented cattle had significantly higher (P less than 0.05) av. daily gain (ADG) in comparison with the control cattle. Total DM intake was significantly higher (P less than 0.05) for the supplemented cattle compared to the control. The trend follows the same pattern for DM intake as percentage of body wt. but at low probability levels (P less than 0.05). The feed efficiency of the supplemented cattle was similar to the control cattle. Production cost of the supplemented cattle was significantly higuer (P less than 0.05) than that of the control cattle. It was not profitable to use cassava chips and Leucaena leaf meal for cattle fattening in this study. (AS) eng
