Two trials were carried out, Trial I (digestibility) and Trial II (performance). In Trial I, 16 castrated male crossbreed piglets were used. They were weaned at 21days and weighing on average of 6.0kg. Two piglets were kept in each metabolic cage. Studding pre-gelatinized corn meal (PGCM), we found these results: digestibility coefficient of dry matter, crude protein and crude energy was 89.2, 78.7 and 90.2%, respectively. Digestible dry matter (81.8% as-fed basis); digestible protein (6.55% as-fed basis) and digestible energy […]
