    (2023-03) Luje Almachi, Carmen Mireya; Guerrero López, Jorge Ricardo
    This research was carried out on the ''Charito'' farm, located in the San Manuel neighborhood (El Chaupi), in the Mejía canton, Pichincha province. In order to evaluate the use of the mycotoxin trap (Ultrabond), in the diet of Creole cows, where it was found that the mycotoxin trap helps increase milk production and decrease somatic cells and CFU (Colony Forming Unit). For the present study, 16 Creole cows were selected; which had an adequate forage and balanced diet; in each treatment T0 (0g/cow/day), T1 (10g/cow/day) was used; T2 (20g/cow/day) and T3 (30g/cow/day) of Ultrabond; in each one of them 4 cows were used, in a period of 60 days. The "Ultrabond" was supplied during the morning milking, the daily milk production (lt/day) was recorded and later the analysis for the somatic cell count and (UFC) was performed. Subsequently, after seeing this process carried out for two months of research, it was verified that there is an increase in milk production with T2 (20g/cow/day) and T3 (30g/cow/day), the decrease in cells was also verified. somatic and UFC using treatment 2 (20g/cow/day), emphasizing that with T3 there was a decrease in relation to T2. The research was profitable because the cost and benefit of milk production increases and the cost of the raw material for the research resulted in a recovery of 0.41 cents for each dollar of treatment investment. Therefore, based on the results obtained, it is profitable to use the mycotoxin trap (Ultrabond).
