Resumen
El presente estudio es parte de un proyecto encauzado a lograr el adelanto de la edad reproductiva de las vaquillas de reposición mediante el mejoramiento de su alimentación. Noventa vaquillas de 180 kg de peso vivo fueron mantenidas sobre pastura natural, distribuidas en tres lotes de 30 ejemplares cada uno (10 Braford + 10 Brangus + 10 cruza Limusin). Cada lote fue sometido durante su primer y segundo invierno (126 y 131 días respectivamente), a distintas estrategias alimentarias. El lote SS fue suplementado con semillas de soja (2,60 kg/animal/día), el lote SA recibió semillas de algodón (2,40 kg/animal/día) y lote CT operó como control sin suplementación. Mensualmente se efectuaron pesajes y mediciones morfométricas a todos los animales. Al final de cada período de suplementación invernal, 19 vaquillas de cada lote fueron exploradas ginecológicamente con un ecógrafo. Bajo diseños aleatorizados y medidas repetidas, los resultados fueron analizados con el software Statistica 2002. Durante el primer invierno, las ganancias finales de peso fueron de 17 y 23 kg para SA y SS respectivamente, en tanto que CT registró una pérdida de 5,36 kg. En el segundo invierno fueron de 35 y 40,5 kg para SA y SS, mientras que el lote CT perdió 9,63 kg. Durante el primer invierno la ganancia diaria de peso/animal fue de 0,33 g en SA, 0,34 g en SS y -0,22 g en CT (p = 0,0001); en el segundo fueron de 0,28; 0,31 y -0,10 g respectivamente. Al final, la condición corporal fue más alta en SA y SS (4,15 y 4,23), significativamente distinta (p=0,0001) de CT (3,83). El diámetro torácico y la altura a la cadera no fueron influenciados significativamente. Las dimensiones de ovarios y útero fueron mayores en SA y SS que en CT (p<0,05). Se concluye que la suplementación con semillas oleaginosas mejoró las ganancias de peso, condición corporal y desarrollo genital de las vaquillas.
In this trial we explain a feeding management tool destined to reduce age of calving of heifers. Ninety heifers of 180 kg liveweight were maintained on natural pasture, distributed in three groups of 30 animals each (10 Braford + 10 Brangus + 10 Limusin crossbreed). During their first and second winter (126 and 131 days, respectively), each group was subjected to different alimentary strategies. Group SS was supplemented with soya seeds (2.60 kg/animal/day), group SA received cottonseed (2.40 kg/animal/day) and group CT operated as control without supplementation. Every month, weighing and morphometrical evaluations were made on all the animals. Nineteen heifers of each group were gynecologically explored by echography at the end of every period of winter supplementation. Results were statistically analyzed with randomized and repeated measures designs, by means of the software Statistica 2002. During the first winter, final liveweight earnings were 17 and 23 kg for SA and SS respectively, whereas CT registered a loss of 5.36 kg. In the second winter, earnings were 35 and 40.5 kg for SA and SS, while group CT lost 9.63 kg. Liveweight/animal daily gains were 0.33 g in SA, 0.34 g in SS and -0.22 g in CT during the first winter (p = 0.0001); for the second winter they were 0.28; 0.31 and -0.10 g, respectively. At the end, body condition was higher in both SA and SS (4.2 and 4.7), data which were significantly different (p=0.0001) compared to CT (3.7). Thoracic diameter and hip height were not significantly influenced. Ovary and uterus dimensions were bigger in SA and SS than in CT (p <0.05). We conclude that oleaginous seeds supplementation improved liveweight earnings, body condition, and genital development of heifers.
