Abstract
Producing innocuous meat of guinea pigs supplemented with natural flora probiotic and commercial probioitc was the objective of this research work. 100 weaned male guinea pigs were used. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments, 5 replications and 5 animals per replicate was used. The treatments were: T1: Control diet (without probiotics), T2: Control diet+natural flora probiotic, T3: Control diet+commercial probiotic and T4: Control diet+natural flora probiotic+commercial probiotic lasted 28 days. Feed intake was higher in guinea pigs fed of natural probiotic diet with 1330 g and the lower consumption guinea pigs treatment natural probiotic+commercial probiotic with 1298.3 g without statistical difference between treatments. The greater weight gain obtained guinea pigs of the control diet without probiotic with 493.0 g followed by guinea pigs treatment with natural flora probiotic with 492.1 g and the lower weight recorded guinea pigs fed the diet with commercial probiotic with 432.7 g showed statistically significant differences between treatments. Feed conversion was better in the guinea pigs of control treatment without probiotic and with natural flora probiotic treatment with 2.8 and 2.9 respectively without statistical difference between treatments. The highest carcass yield showed the guinea pigs of commercial probiotic treatment with 69.7% after of guinea pigs control treatment without probiotic with 68.0% and the lowest carcass yield showed of guinea pigs natural flora probiotic treatment with 67.7% showed no statistical difference between treatments. Also no guinea pigs were recorded in the presence of diseases or deaths guinea pigs.
