Ipil-ipil leaf meal (Leucaena leucocephala) for growing-finishing pigs
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012) Bacnis, Jurlybell J.
Ipil-ipil is a leguminous plant which is rich in food nutrients, and a potential feed substitute for swine. This study was conducted to determine the performance of growing-finishing pigs fed with T1 - pure commercial feeds (control); and T2 - 94% commercial feeds + 6% Ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed substitute. This was conducted at the Piggery Project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, and La Union from October 4, 2011 to January 4, 2012. Twelve pigs were distributed into two treatments with six pigs per treatment. The result of the study showed that ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed substitute for pigs did not cause any significant variation in terms of final weight, gain in weight, Average Daily Gain (ADG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and profit above feed, medicine, stock and feed cost.
