Abstract:
The findings of pre-weaning ADFI (g) were 95.99 ± 7.41, 117.64 ± 7.34, and 111.77 ± 4.63, respectively, while the post-weaning ADFI were 510.55 ± 42.50, 521.38 ± 23.78, and 625.51 ± 51.37 for groups C, T1, and T2 respectively. The overall ADFI during both pre and post-weaning periods were 326.30 ± 25.79, 341.94 ± 14.92, and 397.18 ± 27.94 for groups C, T1, and T2, respectively. Statistically, a significant (<0.05) increase in ADFI on the 2nd week under T2 (<0.05), 4th under T1 (<0.05), and 6th under T2 (<0.01). Statistically, no significant difference was present in overall ADFI. The ADFI was good in piglets fed with a combination of dry feed and FLF. The mean (± SE) FCR of young pigs in C, T1, and T2 on the 10th week of age were 2.43 ± 0.33, 2.07 ± 0.17, and 2.27 ± 0.19 respectively. The overall post-weaning FCR were 2.55 ± 0.19, 2.14 ± 0.10, and 2.42 ± 0.16 for groups C, T1, and T2, respectively. Except for the 5th and 6th week, non-significant (P>0.05) differences in FCR was observed in the three groups during the post-weaning period. The FCR was better in the young pigs fed with FLF (2.14 ± 0.10) followed by the combination of dry and FLF (2.42 ± 0.16) and then dry feed (2.55 ± 0.19).
