Twenty hybrid Landrace and Large White growing pigs with averaging 30 Kg body weight were used to investigate the effect of calcium levels in diet on growth performance according to CRD experimental design. Experimental pigs were divided into 4 groups with 5 animals per group in order to determine 4 experimental diets (treatments); calcium level at 0.60 percent (T1), calcium level at 0.80 percent (T2), calcium level at 1.00 percent (T3) and calcium level at 1.20 percent (T4) Pigs were given experimental diets and drinking water ad libitum. The results sought that average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were not significant among treatments. Experimental pigs fed on T1, T2 and T3 tended to produce more than as compared with T4.
