Abstract :
The experiment was carried out at the station
of Agricultural Research of Svay Rieng University, and
was carried out from 15th April to 17th June 2023 with the
title “Utilization of ensiled cassava leaf and taro mixed
with waste of soybean meal as protein sources fed
different sources of energy on fattening crossbred pigs”.
This research has 3 objectives: 1. To compare DM feed
intake of crossbred pigs, 2. To compare the growth rate of
crossbred pigs, and 3. To compare the feed conversion of
crossbred pigs. There were 12 pigs were arranged within
2*2 factorial design through Randomized Complete Block
Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The factor with the
energy source: rice bran or broken rice and the factor
with the protein source: Ensiled taro mixed with waste of
soybean meal or Ensiled cassava leaf mixed with waste of
soybean meal. The treatments of the study are: T1:
Ensiled Taro 30% + Waste of Soybean Meal 20% + Rice
Bran 49% + Premix 1%; T2: Ensiled Taro 30% + Waste
of Soybean Meal 20% + Broken Rice 49% + Premix 1%;
T3: Ensiled Cassava Leaf 25% + Waste of Soybean Meal
25% + Rice Bran 49% + Premix 1%; and T4: Ensiled
Cassava Leaf 25% + Waste of Soybean Meal 25% +
Broken Rice 49% + Premix 1%. The period of
experiment were 60 days only. All data were collected
daily such as feed offer and feed refusals. Those pigs were
weighed at every 10 days from the starting of the
experiment until the end of experiment. The experiments’
results were found that total intake on the energy sources
were higher significant differently in broken rice
compared with the rice bran (P<0.01) as total intake on
the protein sources were higher significant differently on
the ensiled taro mixed with waste of soybean meal
(P<0.01). Growth rate on the energy sources were higher
significant differently in broken rice as compared to the
rice bran (P<0.01) while growth rate for the ensiled taro
plus waste of soybean meal was slightly high if compared
with the ensile cassava plus waste of soybean meal
(P>0.05). Feed conversion ratio on the energy sources was
better significant in broken rice compared to the rice
bran (P<0.01) while feed conversion for ensiled taro
mixed with waste of soybean meal was slightly better as
compared with the ensile cassava plus waste of soybean
meal (P>0.05). In conclusion, the use of the protein source
from the ensiled taro mixed with waste of soybean meal
plus the energy source of broken rice or rice bran, the
pigs were increased on total intake, live weight gain and
good improvement of feed conversion rather than the use
of ensiled cassava leaf mixed with waste of soybean meal
plus broken rice or rice bran. The research outcome
indicated that efficiency of protein offering is asked to use
the ensiled taro with waste of soybean meal combination
with basal diet of broken rice or rice bran on
reproduction of sows in the next trial.
