Effect of sesame meal on nutrient digestibilities and on performances of growing finishing pigs were studied in 2 experiments. Experiment 1: Twelve boars at 25 and 70 kg body weight were devided into 3 groups of animals each and were randomly fed experimental semi-purified diets as following. Diet 1: protein free diet, Diet 2: A diet containing sesame meal as protein source and Diet 3: A diet containing sesame meal and 1-Lysine 0.5 percent as protein source. The protein content of diet 2 and 3 was 10 percent. Dry matter digestibility of diet 2 and 3 was not significantly difference. But diet 2 had significant poorer (P0.01) protein digestibility, net protein utilization, digestible energy and metabolizable energy than diet 3. Experimental 2: Forty Large White pigs weighted 30 kg body weight were divided into 5 groups of 8 animals each and containing and equal number of castrated males and females. Each group of animals was randomly fed one of the experimental diets as follows until 90 kg body weight. Diet 1: A control diet containing of broken rice-soybean meal and fish meal. Diet 2, 3, 4 and 5: Diets which 25, 50, 75 and 100 percents of soybean meal in the control diet were substituted by sesame meal, respectively. Performances and carcass characteristics of the pigs fed experimental diets were not statistically different. In additional, the castrated male pigs trend to have a better response than the female pigs.
