Effect of deep bedding floor and fermented feed supplement on productive performance, carcase, meat quality and fatty acid profile of crossbred pigs

This study determined the effects of deep bedding floor and fermented feed supplement on growth performance, carcase, meat quality, fatty acid profile crossbred pigs. Thirty-two ((Thai native × Meishan) Duroc) crossbreds were organised in a 2 factorial arrangement completely randomised design. Factor A was (DB) or solid concrete (SB). B type concentrate supplemented with fresh banana stem (BF + CON) (FF CON). Growth carcase traits, chemical composition, determined. The final weight, average daily gain, conversion ratio pigs reared SB significantly higher than those raised DB. backfat thickness loin eye area pork also DB (p < .05). Feed had an effect percentage rib, fat content, TBARS days 0, 1, 3.
