EFECTO DEL ESPACIO DE ALOJAMIENTO SOBRE EL CRECIMIENTO DE CORDERAS DE PELO EN CORRALES DE PISO ELEVAD

<p><strong>Background.</strong> The study of space allowance (m<sup>2</sup>) per animal is important, due in current production systems different group sizes are used throughout the year, without knowing their possible effects on daily weight gain and growth during fattening period. <strong>Objective.</strong> effect hair lambs raised-slatted floor cages was determined. <strong>Methodology.</strong> Data from 527 gains (DWG) weights adjusted at 60 (P60) days post-weaning female commercial crossbreds between breeds were analyzed. statistical model included fixed (AL; 0.69, 0.64-0.60 0.56 m<sup>2</sup>/animal), year (A; 2012 2013), seasons (EA; rainy north) interaction DWG P60. initial body as co-variate.<strong> Results.</strong> AL, A interactions × EA affected dependent variables evaluated (P <0.05). AL larger (0.69 m<sup>2</sup>) intermediate (0.64-0.60 had similar >0.05); these groups, turn, ones that obtained highest P60 compared to smaller (0.56 m<sup>2</sup>). Higher observed 2013. no significant >0.05). <strong>Implications.</strong> availability implies quantity quality, including area occupied by feeder drinker. <strong>Conclusion.</strong> Under conditions present study, should be 0.69 0.60 m<sup>2</sup>/female can play an important role growth.<strong></strong></p>
