Abstract

The experiment aimed to assess the nutritional value of the silage Calamagrostis antoniana and Avena sativa in different proportions (treatments): chemical composition in terms of dry matter (%), crude protein (%), crude fiber (%) and intake voluntary (gr.MS / day) in alpaca tuis lower in 6 treatments: T1 (100% Calamagrostis antoniana T2 (80% and 20% Calamagrostis antoniana and Avena sativa), T3 (60% Calamagrostis antoniana and 40% Avena sativa), T4 (40% and 60% Calamagrostis antoniana and Avena sativa), T5 (20% and 80% Calamagrostis antoniana and Avena sativa) and T6 (100% Avena sativa). Obtaining microsilos held in silage (4 replicates per treatment). Voluntary intake was assessed in 24 male alpacas, tuis smaller breed huacaya (4 replicates per treatment) for 21 days. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. The Calamagrostis antoniana and Avena sativa silage as associated in different proportions (treatments), varies statistically (p <0.05) in the content of MS (%), PT (%) and FC (%) recorded higher values silage, for T1 (55.60% MS), T6 (11.02% PT) and T1 (33.18% FC). Regarding the voluntary intake of silage and Avena sativa and Calamagrostis antoniana in alpacas, silage that had greater treatment acceptance was T4 and T5, consuming an average of voluntarily: 307.18 and 226.87 (gr. MS / day / animal), respectively.
