Abstract

In the Ecuadorian Amazon, the production of efficient pastures for feeding animals of zootechnical interest is affected by different factors such as: soil pH, high saturation of metals such as iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) and low nutritional levels of the earth's layer. Due to the edaphoclimatic characteristics of the region, high rainfall causes soil acidity which blocks the correct absorption of nutrients; therefore, pastures cannot meet their nutritional needs for their development, directly affecting animal production. The objective of this study was to analyse the nutritional contribution of Arachis pintoi (forage peanut) in a challenging environment due to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Amazon. The research was based on the review of related scientific literature such as: Publications, including articles, academic books and theses, to understand how these conditions affect the subsistence of pastures in the region. The importance of the association of grasses with legumes, such as forage peanut, to improve the diet of animals of zootechnical interest and ensure adequate nutritional intake is highlighted. Previous studies have shown that the inclusion of Arachis pintoi, in animal feed, it can result in greater weight gain, as observed in research with Pekin ducks. In addition, the need to consider the climate and soils where forage peanuts are grown to optimize their production is mentioned. Forage peanuts emerge as a promising alternative to improve livestock productivity in the Ecuadorian Amazon, offering nutritional benefits and contributing to the sustainability of the region.
