Resumen:
The Ramio (Boehmeria nivea), by means of many studies and realised industrial and agricultura!
investigations at International level, has demonstrated that it owns many benefits and Utilities like
protein source for poultries. It presents/displays many facilities since it is a culture that adapts very
well to any type ofclimate and especially to a tropical climate as of our Coast and East, apartfrom
which its foliage owns a high protein and very tempting contení for the poultries, cattle and pig. The
young of poultries of the chickens of fattening is especially one of most popular in our country
according to the numbers given by the SICA in the 2004, and one of the main problems in which to
production costs it talks about is its feeding due to the high prices ofthe ingredients. By this different
forms lookfor and develop to lower the price ofthese costs and ofobtaining tempting producís ofgood
origin and to our animal. One of those forms could be the production of our own protein sources
through culture of plañís that have given to good results in other countries and of easy introduction
and propagation in our climate and that represents a small investment for our producers. The test
lasted 42 days and 4 were evaluatedyou díctate, with 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% offlour of ramio. 250
chickens were used Ross baby of 1 doy in 4 treatments of 5 repetitions each. Thefood was similar to
the used one commercially, that is to soy, ramio initial until the 28 days of age and thefmished one
until the 42 days. The final result was better, statistically significant with 5% offlour of ramio
(treatment 2), as much in weight with 1965,22 grams, like in nutritional conversión 2.37. Product of
the greaterfood consumption, 4671,1 grams.
