Abstract

Pig has a great potential to contribute to better economic return to the farmers. A balanced diet having proper ratio of energy and protein need to be prepared to make the pig farming economical. The present study was carried out on over 30 growing three months old crossbred piglets to evaluate the energy and protein requirement in growing and finishing pigs. Accordingly, five diets were prepared viz. T1 (Medium energy (75%) and medium protein diet (18%); T2 (Medium energy (75%) and low protein diet (16.20); T3 (Low energy (67.50%) and high protein diet (19.80%); T4 (Low energy (67.50%) and medium protein diet (18%) and T5 (Low energy (67.50%) and Low protein diet (16.20%). Average dry matter intake and weekly growth body weight gain were observed to be non-significant among groups. Slightly better performance were observed in group 1 followed by 4, 5, 3 and 2. Total body weight gain after 23rd week of experiment were observed to be 62.33, 59.42, 59.88, 59.67 and 59.73 for group 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The overall average daily gain was 380.99±31.09, 369.07±29.46, 371.93±32.61, 376.27±45.49 and 371.68±35.25 g per piglets in treatments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
