Verification/substitution of corn with root crops in swine rations
1985
Sanchez, S.L. | Milleza, T.O.
Corn should be substituted by cassava/sweet potato meals up to 100% in swine ration. Replacement of corn with 100% cassava meal in the ration resulted to shorter feeding period (128 vs 149 days), lower feed consumption (246.1 vs 280.5kg), higher average daily gain (ADG) (0.61 vs 0.55 kg), better feed efficiency (3.15 vs 3.58), and thinner back fat (2.81 vs 2.95 cm) compared to the control (corn-based ration). The differences however, are not statistically significant. Return above feed cost (3.77 vs 1.83) and feed efficiency (3.15 vs 3.58) are significantly better compared to the control
