Abstract

Two feeding trials were conducted using sixteen Landrace x Large White cross-bred pigs to determine the effect of feeding extruded corn-soyabean diets on performance and carcass traits in growing pigs. Extruded corn-soyabean meal was used to replace full fat soyabean at 0 33.67 and 100% in a practical weaner and grower diets. Average 'feed intake was significantly (P<0.05) increased by the addition of corn-soyabean to the diets. Average daily gain and feed/gain were also improved (P<0.05) by Corn-soyabean diets. The use of extruded corn-soyabean meal had no significant effect on some retail cuts. However, certain carcass traits were affected (P<0.05). Corn-soyabean diets improved warm dressing percentage but lowered percent lean cuts (P<0.05).
