Abstract

Total tract digestibility and nitrogen retention of three diets containing different levels of fiber 200 260 and 320 g Neutral Detergent Fiber NDF kg-1 DM were determined in three breeds of growing pig: Mong Cai MC Large White LW and F1 MC x LW. The experiment consisted of three 3 x 3 Latin Squares with three pigs of each breed at an initial age of about 3.5 months. The fibrous ingredients were rice bran cassava residue meal and non de-hulled groundnut meal. Digestibility of organic matter OM crude protein CP NDF and crude fiber CF and nitrogen retention NR and utilization NU decreased as level of dietary fiber increased P0.001. Digestibility of OM and nutrients was highest for MC and lowest for LW P0.001 with intermediate values for the F1. NR and NU were significantly higher P0.001 for LW than for MC and F1 pigs.
