Abstract

In rural communities, families usually reared animals in the backyards of their houses in the south of México. The diet of those animals comprises forages and products from milpa. Milpa is a traditional Maya agriculture system where many crops are cultivated, including pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) a legume with high protein content. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of C. Cajan in diets of naked neck growing pullets on productive performance. Three diets were formulated with 25% of C. cajan: soaked in a solution of CaOH (S); soaked in a solution of CaOH and boiled (SB); germinated (G), and a control diet (C) based on maize and soybean meal. Seventy-two pullets seven days old were used.  Feed intake, weight gain, and feed conversion were recorded. Data were analyzed with an ANOVA for a random design. There were no statistical differences among treatments for feed intake and daily weight gain (p>0.05) (Average of 63.3 and 36.5 g/bird/day for feed intake and daily weight gain, respectively). Feed conversion in treatment G was higher (1.82) than in the other treatments (1.70 for treatments S, SB, and C) (p<0.05). Results suggest that feed intake and daily weight gain were not affected by the inclusion of C. cajan in the pullet’s diets. However, feed conversion was higher in treatment G in comparison to the other treatments.
