Cooked whole soybean and cassava chips were used as protein and energy sources in growing-finishing diets of pigs during 20 to 90 kg liveweight; whereas 18 Large White X Landrace pigs (approx. 20 kg) were randomly received one of the following diets formulated on equal crude protein and ME basis: 1) Control diet: soybean oil meal/fish meal as protein source + ground corn/rice bran as energy source during 20-90 kg, 2) Soybean I: protein and energy sources as in the control diet during 20-60 kg + cooked whole soybean and cassava chips during 60-90 kg or 3) Soybean II: cooked whole soybean and cassava chips during 20-90 kg. A completely Randomized Design was assigned to all the experiment units (one castrate and one female in each unit) so as to compare the influence among these treatments. The results showd that pigs fed different diets were not statistically different in growth performance (P0.05). However, animals fed the control tended to have the highest weight gain (721.01 g/d) and ware the earliest group to reach 90 kg of weight (97.33 d) while those fed Soybean 1 tended to have the best feed conversion efficiency (2.523 kg feed/kg gain), lowest loin eye area 34.13 sq.cm) and thinnest backfat (1.03 in). Feed cost per kg gain of pigs fed the control, Soybean I and Soybean II were 19.25, 16.51 and 14.73 baht, respectively.
