A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of green berseem, kitchen waste and concentrate feeding on growth and carcass traits in growing and finishing pigs. The experiment was conducted in two phases using 24 LWY piglets of about 3 to 3.5 months age. During phase I, the performance of growing piglets was studied for 2 months. The details of feeding regimens in different groups were as follow, group I: 10% green berseem + 90% concentrate only, Gr. II: 10% green berseem + 25% kitchen waste + 65% concentrate, Gr. III: 10% green berseem + 50% kitchen waste + 40% concentrate and group IV: 10% green berseem + 75% kitchen waste + 15% concentrate. During phase II, the performance of finisher pigs was studied for 2 months. Pigs were divided again into 4 groups. Distributions of feed in different such groups have been presented as follow, group I: 10% green berseem + 50% kitchen waste + 40% concentrate, Gr. II: 15% green berseem + 50% kitchen waste + 35% concentrate, Gr. III: 20% green berseem + 50% kitchen waste + 30% concentrate and group IV: 25% green berseem + 50% kitchen waste + 25% concentrate. The ad libitum feeding would be done during both phases. During phase I, there was no significant difference between different treatment groups with respect to overall DM intake, body weight gain and FCR. However, better performance was observed for group IV. In conclusion, substitution of concentrate for different levels of kitchen waste along with 10% green berseem improves the DM intake, growth and FCR than that of the control diet. During phase II, significantly (p |
