Abstract:
Objective at evaluate the production and the bromatological composition of hydroponic corn fodder using ruminant urine as a nutritive solution. Where was realized the manual sowing with density of 0.5 kg/m2, in polypropylene trays of total area 0.12m2. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four treatments and eight repetition (Water, Commercial Solution Nutritive, Sheep Urine and Cow Urine) about the variables production of green phytomass, plants size, number of leaves/plants, dry matter content, detergent fiber in neutral and acid, hemicellulose, mineral matter, and the data submitted a variance analyse and the means compared by Tukey test ((P<0,05). The results demonstrated significative effect the treatments on variables green phytomass productivity, plants size, dry matter content, hemicellulose and mineral matter, however, the variables leaves number, detergent fiber in neutral and acid, did not present static significant. Recommends the utilization the ruminant urine as nutrient solution in hydroponic fodder production at because increase yield in not compromise the quality.
