DIGESTIBILITY AND ACCEPTANCE OF A RESIDUE FROM PANKREATIN-PRODUCTION IN GROWING-FINISHING PIGS .2. APPLICATION AREAS IN FEEDING GROWING-FINISHING PIGS

A growth study, including a control with a standard diet and 2 experim ental groups with diets differing in the content of ''Pankreatin''-res idue (PR) was designed. Results of performance show that PR can be suc cessful used as protein source in growing-finishing pig diets when rat ions are formulated to have the same protein content. Liquid feeding i n combination with cereals is recommended, but animals have to be adap ted 1 or 2 weeks. As related to liveweight and protein requirements PR -amounts in the range of 1 kg to 3 kg per animal can be incorporated i n the rations. Negativ effects on performance, carcass and meat qualit y are not detected. Results show that feeding of PR-amount above prote in requirements do not result in additional effects.
