DIGESTIBILITY TRIAL IN PIGS BY INDICATOR METHOD
S. Ramamoorthi, A.D. Mercy

An experiment was conducted in 27 Large White Yorkshire pigs which were divided into three groups to measure the digestibility coefficients of nutrients of the experimental diets. The piglets of each group were randomly allotted to three pens to form three replicates per treatment and were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments namely TlT2and T3which were isoproteimic and isocaloric and contained silk worm pupae meal (SWPM) replacing protein from unsalted dried fish at 0, 50 and 100 per cent level, respectively.
