    Efecto del consumo de dietas a base de fruta de pan (Artocarpus altilis) sobre la digestibilidad de los nutrientes en ovinos

    The objective of the present research was to evaluate the effect of the consumption of diets based on breadfruit (Artacarpus altilis) on the digestibility of nutrients in sheep. For which 12 male sheep with an average age of 7 to 8 months and an average weight of 23.50 kg were used, a completely randomized design (DCA) was used, with three treatments and four replicates, in addition to an analysis of variance and Test of Tukey to 5%, with the statistical package SAS 2000. The treatments were T1: 100% of alfalfa. (Witness); T2: 80% alfalfa + 20% breadfruit; T3: 60% alfalfa + 40% breadfruit. The variables evaluated were: Voluntary intake of nutrients (CVMS, CVMO, CVFDN and CVFNA), Apparent nutrient digestibility (DMS, DMO, DFDN, DFDA) Being the highest value T3 and T2 (1651.29 and 1594.21 respectively). The voluntary consumption of organic matter and neutral detergent fiber presented differences (P = 0.0002 and 0.0001) between treatments, with the highest consumption T3 (1558.82; 871.88) and T2 (1496.96; 835.37) respectively. While for the voluntary consumption of acid detergent fiber shows differences (P = 0.0001) being its greater consumption T1 and T2 (583.01 and 582.26) respectively. Regarding the apparent digestibility of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber, differences (P = 0.0001) were observed between treatments, with the highest T3 digestibility (48.23 and 43.34), respectively. The digestibility of acid detergent fiber did not show a difference between treatments (P = 0.2208), based on the above results, and the differences between the treatments (P = 0.0001) and the highest digestibility T3 and T2 (55.58 and 53.91 respectively) It can be concluded that the incorporation of breadfruit in sheep diets can improve the digestibility of nutrients, possibly due to the non-structural carbohydrate content present in T3, which can improve the ruminal environment.
