Rabbit Acceptability of Defatted Coconut Flour Among Different Food Sources

To determine the acceptability of defatted coconut flour supplied as the sole feed and incorporated at different levels in the rabbit diet, two experiments were performed in which random block designs were used. In the first experiment the treatments were: T1 corn flour, T2 alfalfa flour, and T3 def...

description To determine the acceptability of defatted coconut flour supplied as the sole feed and incorporated at different levels in the rabbit diet, two experiments were performed in which random block designs were used. In the first experiment the treatments were: T1 corn flour, T2 alfalfa flour, and T3 defatted coconut flour. In the second, the treatments consisted of supplying the diets with the inclusion of defatted coconut flour in growing percentage (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %). In both studies Chinchilla breed male rabbits of 80 days old were used, weighting an average of 2,150 ± 103 g, 21 and 35 rabbits respectively. Variables attempt to consume and food consume showed similar results, both in defatted coconut flour supplied as the sole feed and when mixed with other ingredients. Animals made consumption attempts for nearly 24 hours and the highest consumption attempts were observed at night. Animals showed the highest acceptance for diets of 10% defatted coconut flour inclusion. The results suggest defatted coconut flour is an agro-industrial by-product with potentiality to be included in rabbit diets and to substitute traditional feed used for this specie.

Con el propósito de determinar el grado de aceptabilidad de la harina de coco desgrasada suministrada como alimento único e incorporado en diferentes niveles en la dieta para conejos, fueron realizados dos experimentos en los que se emplearon diseños bloques al azar. En el primer experimento los tratamientos fueron: T1 harina de maíz, T2 harina de alfalfa y T3 harina de coco desgrasada; para el segundo, los tratamientos consistieron en el suministro de las dietas con la inclusión de 0, 10, 20, 30 y 40 % de harina de coco desgrasada.  En los dos estudios se utilizaron conejos machos de la raza chinchilla de 80 días de edad, con un peso promedio de 2150 ±103 g, 21 y 35 animales respectivamente. Se observó una conducta similar en las variables intento de consumo y consumo de alimentos, tanto cuando se suministró la harina de coco desgrasada como alimento único como cuando se mezcló con otros ingredientes. Los animales realizaron intentos de consumo durante casi las 24 h, con los mayores intentos de consumo en el horario nocturno. Los animales muestran la mayor aceptación por las dietas del 10 % de inclusión de harina de coco desgrasada. Los resultados sugieren que la harina de coco desgrasada es un subproducto agroindustrial con potencialidades para ser incorporada en las dietas de conejos y sustituir alimentos convencionales tradicionalmente empleados en los piensos elaborados para esta especie.
