Digestible And Metabolizable Energy In Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Bran, And Copra Meal Fed To 10 To 15 Kg Philippine Native Pigs (Benguet Strain), Mary Arnel D. Garcia Sep 2023

Digestible And Metabolizable Energy In Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Bran, And Copra Meal Fed To 10 To 15 Kg Philippine Native Pigs (Benguet Strain), Mary Arnel D. Garcia

The Philippine Agricultural Scientist

The experiment was conducted to determine the digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy in ground yellow corn, rice bran, and copra meal when fed to Philippine native pigs. Nine barrows with an average initial bodyweight of 10 kg and ages ranging from 60 to 75 d old were housed individually in metabolism crates and randomly allotted to a triplicated incomplete 3 × 2 Latin square design with three diets and two periods. A corn-based diet containing 94.89% yellow corn and two diets containing 66.42% yellow corn and 30% rice bran or …


Standardized Ileal Digestibility Of Amino Acids In Nacedero (Trichanthera Gigantea (Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees) Foliage, Copra Expeller, And Soybean Meal Fed To Growing Philippine Native Pigs (Sus Scrofa Domesticus Erxleben, 1777), Mary Arnel D. Garcia, Rommel C. Sulabo Mar 2021

Standardized Ileal Digestibility Of Amino Acids In Nacedero (Trichanthera Gigantea (Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees) Foliage, Copra Expeller, And Soybean Meal Fed To Growing Philippine Native Pigs (Sus Scrofa Domesticus Erxleben, 1777), Mary Arnel D. Garcia, Rommel C. Sulabo

The Philippine Agricultural Scientist

The experiment was conducted to determine the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in nacedero (Trichanthera gigantea Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees; NAC) foliage, copra expeller (CE), and soybean meal (SBM) fed to growing Philippine native pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus Erxleben, 1777). Eight barrows of Black Tiaong strain (initial BW of 36.44 ± 1.59 kg; 132 to 135 d) installed with a T-cannula at the distal ileum were housed individually in metabolism cages and randomly allotted to a replicated 4 × 3 Youden square design with four diets and three periods.
