Abstract

The use of alternative feedstuff seldomly considers effects on carcass and meat quality. The study aimed to assess the impact of high-quality cassava peel meal (HCPM) on carcass cuts and meat quality of growing pigs. Thirty (30) male growing pigs (Landrace × Large white) were randomly distributed to five groups with six (6) animals per group in a completely randomized design. HCPM was incorporated into the diet at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The pigs fed 20% HCPM diets had higher carcass weight, resulting in an improved ham yield (p<0.05). The colour, flavour, tenderness, juiciness, texture, and overall acceptability were statistically superior (p<0.05) in the pigs fed diet 40%. HCPM diets enhanced the carcass weight and meat quality of growing pigs up to 40% inclusion translating to 100% replacement for maize.
