Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
A study was conducted on eighteen growing crossbred Large White Yorkshire piglets to see the effect of increasing dietary level of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance, feed intake, feed conversion efficiency, haematological parameters and cost economics under intensive system. The piglets were divided into three dietary treatment groups T1 (control with 0% DDGS), T2 (Treatment with 10% DDGS) and T3 (Treatment with 20% DDGS) of six animals each and fed on the respective diets for the period of 90 days. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the final weight, the total weight gain, and the average daily gain. Also there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the total feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR). However, the cost/kg gain (Rs.) differ significantly (P˂0.01) with the cost/kg gain reduced by 8.10% in T3 followed by 5.48% in T2 when compared with T1 ration. Blood parameters from the present study showed RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, LYM, RDW-SD, RDW-CV, MID and PCT values falls within the normal values of pigs. Whereas WBC, MPV, GRAN, PDW and P-LCR showed significant difference and indicated that, there were no adverse effects on the health of the animals after feeding the DDGS based diets.
