Carcass, Organ and Pathological Characteristics of Grower Pigs Fed Cassava Peel Meal

چکیده
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of replacing maize with Cassava Peel Meal (CPM) on the carcass, organ and pathological characteristics of growing pigs. Twenty-four 16-week old pigs of Landrace x Large White breed were raised on four experimental diets where CPM replaced maize at 0, 10, 20 and 30 percent levels. The diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isoenergetic containing 16 % CP and 12.08 MJME/kg. Each diet was fed to a group of six pigs. Results indicated that carcass weight and backfat thickness decreased as level of CPM in the diets increased. Heart, Kidney, Liver and Spleen weights (expressed as percentage of body weight) were significantly higher at the 30 percent level of CPM inclusion. Likewise, Kidney of pigs fed the 30 percent CPM diet showed degeneration, necrosis and dilatation of the tubules. Liver of same pigs had bile duct dilatation, fibrosis and thickening of the interlobular septa. It was concluded that 20 percent of the maize content of the diets of grower pigs can be replaced by CPM without any deleterious effect on the carcass, organ and pathological characteristics.

A total of 252 crossbred pigs were used in two experiments to determine the effect of feeding hydrolyzed feather meal (FM) during the growing-finishing period on animal performance, carcass composition, and pork quality. All pigs were blocked by weight, and dietary treatments were assigned randomly to pens within blocks. In Exp. 1, 24 pens were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatmen...

Four West African Dwarf (WAD) grower bucks averaging 6 kg in weight and aged between 5-6 months of age were used in a digestive trial to determine the intake and digestibility of raw or processed pigeon pea seed meal based diets. The diets designated RPBD, SPBD, TPBD and BPBD were formulated from cassava peel, palm kernel cake, brewers dry grain, bone meal and common salt to contain 15% of raw,...

An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that field peas may replace soybean meal in diets fed to growing and finishing pigs without negatively influencing pig performance, carcass quality, or pork palatability. Forty-eight pigs (initial average BW 22.7 +/- 1.21 kg) were allotted to 1 of 3 treatments with 2 pigs per pen. There were 8 replications per treatment, 4 with barrows and 4 wi...

Four trials were conducted to determine the influence of feeding 200 ppb Cr as chromium picolinate (CrPic) on DM digestibility, N balance, and carcass traits of growing-finishing pigs. A 15% CP corn-soybean meal diet was fed during the grower phase, and a 13% CP corn-soybean meal diet was fed during the finisher phase. In each of three trials, crossbred barrows (six littermate pairs) were used ...
