description Conditioned aversion with Lithium Chloride (LiCl) has shown to be a useful tool for modeling diet in ruminants. In this paper, we studied the LiCl use to control olive trees consumption by ewes. For this purpose, 22 crossbred ewes were exposed to a preconditioning period where they were trained in a specific consumption routine. Once the conditioning period began, fresh olive leaves were given to eat, half were dosed with LiCl aqueous solution (200 mg/kg BW), while the other half were dosed with water. The effect of LiCl was monitored during 6 consecutive days after administration, and every month for 6 months. The LiCl generated a significant decrease consumption of olive leaves. We propose that the conditioned aversion induced by LiCl is a useful tool to control olive trees consumption.

La aversión condicionada con Cloruro de Litio (LiCl) ha demostrado ser una herramienta útil para modelar la dieta en rumiantes. En este ensayo estudiamos el uso del LiCl para controlar el consumo de olivos en ovinos. Se usaron 22 ovejas, todas fueron sometidas a un periodo de pre-condicionamiento donde se las acostumbró a una rutina de consumo. Luego, se pasó al período de condicionamiento, donde se usaron hojas frescas de olivos, cuando se logró que todos los animales consumieran la planta se dosificó con LiCl (200 mg/kg PV) a la mitad de animales. Se monitoreó el efecto del LiCl durante 6 días consecutivos, y luego mensualmente durante 6 meses. El LiCl generó una disminución significativa en el consumo de hojas de olivos. En el presente trabajo, proponemos que la aversión condicionada inducida por el uso de LiCl es una herramienta útil para controlar que los ovinos consuman los olivos.
