Abstract

RESUMEN Tradicionalmente, la aplicación de Zeranol en rumiantes se lleva a cabo con implantes en pellets; sin embargo la presentación en implante líquido facilitaría su aplicación. El trabajo se realizó de febrero a mayo de 2004 en Yucatán, México. Se evaluó el efecto del Zeranol en solución oleosa (Z-oleo), aplicado por vía subcutánea, sobre la ganancia diaria de peso (GDP), consumo voluntario (CV) y conversión alimenticia (CA) de ovinos Pelibuey en engorda intensiva, durante 56 días. Se utilizaron 32 machos enteros, con peso promedio de 19.8±2.7 kg y 146 días de edad, aleatorizados en dos tratamientos (T1 = sin Z-oleo y T2 = con Z-oleo). El día cero los animales del T2 recibieron dosis única por vía subcutánea de 12 mg de Z-oleo. Los ovinos se alojaron en corraletas individuales, recibiendo una dieta integral a libre acceso. No se observaron diferencias estadísticas entre tratami-entos en las variables analizadas (P > 0.05). Se obtuvieron GDP de 323 ± 51 y 331 ± 38 g día -1 ; CV de 1.575 ± 0.203 y 1.644 ± 0.193 Kg de MS d -1 y CA mostró medias de 4.9 ± 0.4 y 5.0 ± 0.6 para T1 y T2, respectivamente. El uso del Zeranol en solución oleosa, no tuvo efecto sobre ga-nancia diaria de peso, consumo voluntario y conversión alimenticia en ovinos Pelibuey en engorda intensiva.

The work was carried out from February to May of 2004 in Yucatan, Mexico. The effect of the Zeranol in oily solution (Z-olea) was evaluated on the daily weight gain, voluntary feed intake, and feed efficiency in Pelibuey feedlot lambs. Thirty two Pelibuey lambs were used, with a weight average of 19.8±2.7 kg and 146 days of age, allotted randomly to the two treatments (T1 = no application of Z and T2 = with application), the lambs received a unique subcutaneous dose of 12 mg of Z-olea; each lamb was considered an independent experimental unit. The lambs were lodged separately, with free feed access for 56 days. Statistical differences were not observed between treatments in any variables (P> 0.05). The lambs had a daily weight gain of 323 ± 51 and 331 ± 38 g day -1 ; voluntary feed intake of 1.575 ± 0.203 and 1.644 ± 0.193 kg dry matter day -1 and feed efficiency of 4.9 ± 0.4 and 5.0 ± 0.6 for T1 and T2, respectively. Under the conditions in which this work was performed, the results indicated that Zeranol injected in oily solution, did not affect the daily weight gain, voluntary feed intake and feed efficiency in Pelibuey feedlot lambs.
