Abstract

Ecuador is a country that stands out for being an agricultural country. One of the sectors with the highest production is the meat industry, where people look for sources of raw materials that can give them an added value so that they have a better profitability. Likewise, to increase the weight of the cattle in order to obtain a better efficiency in the food conversion a diet alternative is offered based on mud of palm, banana, molasses and urea in different doses to know its effectiveness in the canton Valencia, Quevedo, of the province of Los Rios. Four treatments will be used, one of which is a witness. In T1 we will use 9 hours of grazing of Savoy grass (Panicum maximun) + 40 g urea + 15 kg banana + 5 kg palm mud + 1/2 kg molasses, T2 increases the dose to 80 g urea, 20 kg banana and 10 kg palm mud and T3 has 120 g urea, 25 kg banana and 15 kg palm mud. Within the investigations, satisfactory results have been obtained when including palm and banana mud in the fattening diets for cattle.
