Digestive Morphology of Native Pig Supplemented by Different Levels of Fermented Vigna radiata L.

Description

Enhancing feed efficiency in converting feed mass into pig body mass is critical phase for the profitability of producing pig. To improve the metabolic utilization of dietary nutrients, it relies heavily on a healthy gut or gastrointestinal tract, and only a healthy gut can result in a better feed digestion and a better nutrient absorption. Thus, the study investigates the growth performance, the response of the digestive morphology of native pig, which treatment will stretch good output and variations under different levels of fermented mungbean. The experimental research design was employed to determine the response of the three (3) pigs treated with mungbean for 70 days. The growth performance of pigs treated with different level of fermented mungbean has a total gain weight of 7.50kg for Treatment 1, Treatment 2 is 9.00kg and Treatment 3 is 6.50kg and is observed no significant difference on the final weight and the total weight with a p-value of > 0. 050; the response on digestive morphology such as small intestine, large intestine, heart, stomach, liver, lungs, esophagus, spleen and kidney of pigs shows no variations on their length, width and weight with a p-value of >0.050 under the different level of fermented mungbean; and the good output treated with different level of fermented mungbean is observed on Treatment 2 with a lowest feed conversion efficiency of 3.89 for feeds and 1.39 for mungbean. Treatment 2 has the highest gain weight among the treated sample; the intestinal morphology of pigs was comparably observed under the three treatments and treatment 2 has the lowest feed conversion efficiency.
