Análisis de los principales suplementos nutricionales, utilizados en el desarrollo productivo de pollos de engorde en la etapa inicial

Vitamins, minerals and amino acids have contributed to the development of the food industry at the livestock level since they help improve the natural conditions of animal performance; In Ecuador, the commercial lines of broilers stand out for their productive potential, however, the lack of technical knowledge of poultry farmers and their eagerness to maintain profitability have led to the supply of food formulated in a standard way by commercial houses, therefore, guaranteeing food security has become a challenge for small and medium producers. For the preparation of this document, various investigations were compiled and thus be able to give a holistic approach to the benefits of the contribution of supplements (vitamins, minerals and amino acids) during the initial stage of the broiler; Although in general, balanced feeds "cover the nutritional requirements" of the birds, it should be noted that in order to maintain the uniformity of the batch, it is necessary to supply the deficiencies of feeds formulated for the different stages of the chicken, since the feed used does not It is capable of satisfying the needs required by chickens with high genetic efficiency.

Las vitaminas, minerales y aminoácidos han contribuido al desarrollo de la industria alimentaria a nivel pecuario puesto que ayudan a mejorar las condiciones naturales de desempeño de los animales; en el Ecuador las líneas comerciales de pollos de engorde se destacan por su potencial productivo, no obstante, la escasez de conocimiento técnico de los avicultores y su afán por mantener la rentabilidad han hecho que se oferten alimentos formulados de manera estándar por las casas comerciales, por lo que garantizar la seguridad alimentaria se ha convertido en un desafío para el pequeño y mediano productor. Para la elaboración del presente documento se recopiló diversas investigaciones enfocadas en el tema de estudio, para así poder dar un enfoque holístico de los beneficios que tiene el aporte de suplementos (vitaminas, minerales y aminoácidos) durante la etapa inicial del pollo de engorde; aunque de manera general, los alimentos balanceados “cubren los requerimientos nutricionales” de las aves, es preciso señalar que para lograr mantener la uniformidad del lote es preciso suplir las carencias de alimentos formulados para las distintas etapas del pollo, ya que el alimento utilizado no es capaz de satisfacer las necesidades requeridas por el pollo de alta eficiencia genética.
