Eighty Duroc x Landrace/Large White piglets aged 3 days were divided into four groups of 20 animals and allotted to four pens. Trials were conducted to determine the effect of three different each of commercial super creep feeds and conventional creep feed diets on the growth performance of suckling piglets. The first group (Diet 1: conventional creep feed) acted as a control. The second (Diet II: Bayer I super creep feed), the third (Diet I: Bayer II super creep feed) and the forth (Diet IV: Piggy super creep feed) were fed to piglets from 3 days old to 35 days old, during a 32-day study. the pelleted creep feeds were formulated by feed companies. All piglets were weaned at 28 days old. The results indicated that average daily gain (ADG) of the piglets fed on above diets were 221, 246, 249 abd 234 g/day, respectively and Feed Conversion Rations (FCR) were 0.19/1, 0.18/1, 0.14/1 and 0.19/1, respectively. Under this conditions of this study, no significant differences were detected in average daily gain (ADG) and Feed Conversion Rations (FCR) of pigs between 3 and 35 days of age.
