Comportamiento forrajero de tres variedades de festulolium con tres tipos de estiércol en la estación experimental Tunshi

At the Experimental Station Tunshi, Cattle and Livestock Faculty, ESPOCH, three types of ordure were evaluated: goat, sheep and rabbit, in the fodder production of three varieties of Festulolium (Spring Green, Duo, Lofa), the experimental results were tabulated under a completely at Random Block Bi-factorial Design. Forty eight experimental units of 20 m2 each one, were used, with 3 treatments for the Factor To (varieties of Festulolium) and 4 treatments for the Factor B (types of ordure). The best results being established for the variety Duo, for height (38,53 cm), basal coverage (43,60 %), aerial (90,51 %), and production of forage both in green (5,47 Tn/FV/ha cutting), and in DM (1,39 Tn/FV/ha cutting) to 15, 30 and 45 days, considering that it is a hybrid of easy adaptation to the zone conditions. the forage production valuation of the different varieties of Festulolium it is thought that upon fertilizing with goat manure the highest height results, basal coverage, green forage production and dry matter are produced while for the aerial coverage, the ovine manure shows to be the one in both, in production and quality. The soil analysis before and after fertilization shows a significant change in the nutrient content as there was, increasing both the nitrogen and the phosphorus and organic matter. The best treatment at economically speaking was that upon applying goat manure in the Duo variety as it records a benefit- cost of 1,89 USD. En la Estación Experimental Tunshi, Facultad de Ciencias Pecuarias, ESPOCH, se procedió a evaluar tres tipos de estiércol: caprino, ovino y conejo, en la producción forrajera de tres variedades de Festulolium (Spring Green, Duo, Lofa), los resultados experimentales se evaluaron bajo un Diseño Bifactorial de Bloques Completamente al Azar. Cuarenta y ocho unidades experimentales de 20 m2 cada una, fueron utilizadas, con 3 tratamientos para el Factor A (variedades de Festulolium) y 4 tratamientos para el Factor B (tipos de estiércol). Estableciéndose los mejores resultados para la variedad Duo, para altura (38,53 cm), cobertura basal (43,60%), aérea (90,51%), y producción de forraje tanto en verde (5,47 Tn/FV/ha corte), como en MS (1,39 Tn/FV/ha corte) a los 15, 30 y 45 días, tomando en consideración que es un hibrido de fácil adaptación a las condiciones de la zona. Al valorar la producción forraje de las diferentes variedades de Festulolium se consideró que al fertilizarlas con estiércol caprino se produjeron los mayores
