MARTINEZ-ECHEVARRIA, María T. et al. Potentialities of the Cordia collococca fruit for its use in the feeding of birds. cultrop [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.3, pp. 86-93. ISSN 1819-4087.

From Cuban´s provinces Pinar del Río is the most western, it is part of the second region of the country with endemic flora, it possesses great variety of arboreal species with multiple benefits for the agroecosystems, the contribution of its fruits for the animal feeding belongs one to them. In the agroecosistem, “El avioncito” belonging to Pinar del Río municipality exists a great readiness of the species Cordia collococca; the level of use of its fruits is very low. It was carried out a bromatological study in the research laboratory of the University of Pinar del Río and in the laboratory of the Institute of Animal Science, with the objective of knowing the qualitative and quantitative composition of the Cordia collococca fruit, their production and collection, to introduce the species in agroecological properties with the purpose of alternative alimentary for birds. The selection approach of the sample taking was carried out starting from the conditions of the plants, the soil type and the climatic conditions. The results of the bromatological study were obtained in two moments of fructification of the year 2013 and 2014. Similar percentages of gross protein were obtained to other species and vegetables used in the feeding of birds and data on the quantity of fruits that has a bunch and bunches that has a branch. A model represented by mathematical expressions to estimate the production of the fruit, statistical procedures are used to validate the proposed relationships
