Resumen:
Para evaluar los contenidos nutricionales de la semilla de guayaba se emplearon harina
y germinado de la semilla. Se realizó un análisis proximal y digestibilidad in vitro.
Existieron diferencias significativas entre la harina y germinado de semilla de guayaba
(p<0.01) para porcentaje de ceniza, proteína cruda, fibra cruda y fibra detergente neutra.
En la digestibilidad in vitro la mayor producción de gas se dio en germinado, con 40 ml
de gas por cada 200 mg de materia seca. La mayor producción de ácidos grasos volátiles
después de la digestibilidad in vitro (48 h) ocurrió en el germinado de semilla de guayaba.
Se concluye que la harina y germinado de semilla de guayaba tienen posibilidad de ser
utilizadas en la dieta de rumiantes.
Descripción:
The nutritional contents of guava flour and germinated guava seeds were evaluated. A
proximal analysis and in vitro digestibility were performed. There were significant
differences between the flour and germinated guava seeds (p <0.01) for a percentage of
ash, crude protein, crude fiber and neutral detergent fiber. In the in vitro digestibility, the
highest gas production was given by germination, with 40 ml of gas per 200 mg of dry
matter. The highest production of volatile fatty acids after in vitro digestibility (48 h)
occurred in the germination of guava seed. Basing on these results, it is concluded that
the flour and germinated guava seeds have the possibility of being used in the diet of
ruminants.
