Effects of fermented Mother Liquid (FML) Supplementation to Growing and Finishing Swine Ration.

Abstract

A study on the effects of fermented mother (FML) supplementation in growing and finising swine rations was conducted. Eighteen Large White pigs, consisted of nine boars and nine gilts were divided into 3 groups of six each. Each group was randomly assigned to be fed with control diet, diet containing FML at level 5 percent and diet containing FML at level 10 percent in growing and finishing swine rations. The results of this study indicated that there were no signification differences among the treatments on the average daily gain and the average daily feed intake but the feed conversion ration of growing-finishing pigs value highly significant among the treatments and between the sexs. The difference among the treatments in cost of production and carcass quality in dressing percentage, carcass length and lean percentage were very small. However the pork from pig on diet three has darker colour than pork from other diets. This study indicated that FML could be used as protein supplement in growing and finishing pig rations at the level of 5 and 10 percent.
