Abstract
La industria avícola tiene como objetivos primordiales en la producción de pollo de engorde: alcanzar pollos con mayor peso, optimizar la conversión alimenticia, garantizar uniformidad y obtener un buen rendimiento. La mejora genética en pollos ha beneficiado a la industria al optimizar la conversión alimenticia y acortar el tiempo de crecimiento. Sin embargo, su rápido metabolismo, alimentado constantemente, conduce a problemas metabólicos como ascitis, sobrepeso y deformidades esqueléticas. Esto nos lleva a explorar alternativas como la restricción alimenticia y la incorporación de aditivos nutricionales. La restricción alimenticia, que limita la ingesta nutricional, puede ser cuantitativa o cualitativa. Por otro lado, los aditivos nutricionales se añaden a los alimentos para mejorar sus propiedades, complementando nutrientes, potenciando el aumento de peso y mejorando la calidad del producto final. Se investiga la Carnitina, un aminoácido no esencial producido
naturalmente en el cuerpo, especialmente en órganos como el cerebro, riñones, hígado y testículos.
The poultry industry's primary objectives in broiler chicken production are: to achieve heavier chickens, optimize feed conversion, guarantee uniformity and obtain good performance. Genetic improvement in chickens has benefited the industry by optimizing feed conversion and shortening growth time. However, its rapid metabolism, constantly fed, leads to metabolic problems such as ascites, overweight and skeletal deformities. This leads us to explore alternatives such as dietary restriction and the incorporation of nutritional additives. Dietary restriction, which limits nutritional intake, can be quantitative or qualitative. On the other hand, nutritional additives are added to foods to improve their properties, complementing nutrients, promoting weight gain and improving the quality of the final product. Carnitine, a non-essential amino acid produced naturally in the body, is being investigated, especially in organs such as the brain, kidneys, liver and testicles.
