Increase Production and Carcass Quality of Local Pig's with Low Feed Costs

Background and Objective:The livestock sub-sector plays an important role in the food supply but greater expenditure is required for the development of animal feed.Hence, the objective of the study was to identify the effect of using rice bran and a blood meal fermented with a probiotic based on moringa leaf extract in the pigʼs diet.Materials and Methods: A randomized block design was used consisting of four treatments and four blocks.The treatments applied in this research consist of treatment T 0 as a reference composed of 45% yellow corn, 30% rice bran, 10% blood meal and 15% soybean.Treatment T 1 is composed of 45% yellow corn, 35% fermented rice bran, 6.5% fermented blood meal and 13.5% soybean.The T 2 is composed of 45% yellow corn, 33% fermented rice bran, 7.5% fermented blood meal and 14.5% soybean.The T 3 is composed of 45% yellow corn, 30% fermented rice bran, 9.5% fermented blood meal and 15% soybean.The observed variables in the study were productive performance, income offers feed cost and carcass characteristics.The Duncanʼs Test was used to compare the means of treatment.Results: There was a significant effect for average daily weight gain, slaughter weight, carcass weight and there was a highly significant effect for back fat thickness and there was no significant effect for average daily intake, feed conversion ratio, feed intake efficiency, carcass percentage and abdominal fat weight.Mean comparison tests revealed that T 3 is the best treatment compared to the others.Conclusion: The T 3 treatment was very capable of improving productive performance, carcass quality and high-income offers feed cost of the local pigs.
