Comportamiento productivo de gallinas ponedoras (Lohomann Brown) en su etapa inicial bajo condiciones de la Amazonía

The objective of this study was to detail the production parameters of Lohomann Brown laying hens during their initial stage, with the aim of contributing new production parameters within the Amazon region. To this end, a descriptive study was conducted using 200-day-old Lohomann Brown pullets. The variables analyzed were as follows: production indicators such as body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed intake (FI), mortality, and viability. The data were recorded in an Excel spreadsheet in order to interpret and discuss the results obtained, where the weight gain at the end of the initial stage was 696.4 g, followed by a feed conversion ratio of 2.66. On the other hand, their feed intake was 1671 g, and finally, a mortality rate of 0% was achieved. Therefore, thanks to adequate nutrition and a suitable environment, better weight gain is optimized, which leads to better profitability within the poultry establishment.
