 ABSTRACT

Eighteen gestating sows were randomly grouped in to G1, G2 and G3 groups with six sows in each group received T1 (0%), T2 (10%) and T3 (15%) experimental rations with coconut grating residue for this digestibility trial. The apparent digestibility of experimental rations was determined 3 days prior to farrowing in gestation sows by total collection method. The coconut grating residue was analysed for its chemical composition as per AOAC (2016). Coconut grating residue have 37.48± 1.37 % of EE, 34.10± 1.37 % of CF and 11.55± 0.85% of CP content and all the nutrients except EE were have similar digestibility values compared to control. The EE digestibility was significantly (P<0.01) decreased as inclusion level of coconut grating residue increased in sows ration. The material coconut spent grating residue was by product of Ayurveda Medicine Company and nutritive value studies elucidated it could be considered as one of the feed ingredient for pigs.

Keywords: Coconut grating residue, chemical composition, digestibility co-efficient, nutritive value.
