Abstract

The research was developed at the Universidad Estatal del Sur de Manabí, Ecuador, Agricultural Engineering career. The objective of the study was to establish what was the physiological behavior of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in broilers (PdE) fed with Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) paste (PSI), through the comparison of the increase in weight and length of the organs that are part of the GIT. The digestive response of PdE was determined by analysis of variance, applying the experimental design of complete random blocks and for the comparison of the means, the Tukey test at 0.05 % was performed using the Infostat statistical software. The sample consisted of 48 PdE, females and males of the Cobb 500 line, with four treatments with levels of 0; 15; 25; 35 %, respectively (twelve chickens·treatment^-1), which were fed with PSI, which contains values of proteins and crude fiber of 59.0 and 4.5 %, with high digestibility, reaching 92.2 %, and the most complete and best composition of amino acids in relation to other oilseeds, partially replacing soybean cake in the diet ; the animals were subjected to the experimental diet until day forty-two, obtaining as a result that none of the analyzed organs presented significant differences in terms of their weight and length. Establishing that even when PSI has an adequate nutritional composition, which allows it to be a product suitable for consumption by monogastric animals, however, the presence of antinutritional factors such as tannin can inhibit the development of organs in the GIT; however, it can be considered as an economic and ecological alternative source in substitution of products such as soy for the feeding of PdE.
