Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine the digestibility and degradability and total cecal in chigüiro (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in captivity, which was held in the municipality of Paz de Ariporo, Normandía village, Providencia farm located four (4) hours of the hull city ​​in the department of Casanare, in order to determine the nutritional composition of guaratara grass (Axonopus purpusii) and leaves of banana (Musa sp.) as a staple food of capybaras in captivity. We used four (4) clinically healthy, average weight between 30 kg and 35 kg with a Latin square experimental design, made in pairs and subjected to stages of adaptation - adaptation of eight (8) days, a period in which provided guaratara (Axonopus purpusii) and leaves of banana (Musa sp.) and water ad libitum daily. Process was performed cecal digestibility and total mobile bags. The two food sources were previously subjected to drying and then grinding to be incorporated into mobile bags and collected in the stool, to be sent to the laboratory to perform chemical composition analysis (ADF, NDF, CP, fat, carbohydrates, and ash). To determine the total digestibility, bags were introduced by gold gastric tube and cecal digestibility was determined by cecal fistula (cecal cannula and cannula PVC blind). In each test was collected for serum metabolic profiles correlation with the degree of digestibility. Soil samples were taken for examination. We conclude that the banana leaf is highly palatable as well as the guaratara. Furthermore, the methodology was appropriate for data collection.
