SUPPLEMENTATION OF CREOLE SHEEP WITH MULTINUTRITIONAL BLOCKS IN TLAXCALA, MEXICO
A participatory experiment was carried out with three sheep farmers from the municipality of Benito Juarez, Tlaxcala, Mexico. Multinutritional blocks (BMN) were used to observe their effect on weight gain. The BMN had a content of 45% molasses, 25% corn stubble and 5% urea. Despite the different feeding plans and times of the year in which the experiment was carried out, there were weight gains in the three herds, however these were significant only in herd three (3.8 kg and increase). In the case of the females participating in the study, the weight gains were significantly higher than those registered by the males.

Abstract:
A participatory experiment was carried out with three sheep farmers from the municipality of Benito Juarez, Tlaxcala, Mexico. Multinutritional blocks (BMN) were used to observe their effect on weight gain. The BMN had a content of 45% molasses, 25% corn stubble and 5% urea. Despite the different feeding plans and times of the year in which the experiment was carried out, there were weight gains in the three herds, however these were significant only in herd three (3.8 kg and increase). In the case of the females participating in the study, the weight gains were significantly higher than those registered by the males.
