Use of Biocolina® in the feeding of Ambystoma velasci pre-adults
Abstract
The amphibian Ambystoma velasci is an endemic species of Mexico subject to special protection according to Mexican regulations. One of the conservation strategies is its maintenance in captivity, being feeding one of the most important aspects to consider. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Biocolina® in the diet of adult Ambystoma velasci as a growth promoter. Four Biocolina® treatments (0%, 1%, 2% and 3%) were used to evaluate the productive parameters and to determine the linear and quadratic (P<0.05) effect of the addition of this supplement to the feed. The results indicated a linear effect on the weight of axolotl treated with feed enriched with 2% Biocolina®, and feed consumption was reduced with the 1% dose (P<0.05). Biocolina® improved the weight of the salamanders and optimized feed consumption at the 1% dose, so it is considered that this supplement could be an alternative to improve the quality of axolotl feed and reduce production costs per feeding.
