【 摘 要 】

The effects of Allzyme SSF supplementation of sweet potato vine meal (SPVM) on the performance of growing pigs were investigated. A control diet based on fish meal and full-fat soybean as protein sources and diets containing 150 and 300 g/kg of SPVM with and without SSF were fed each to pigs in five replicates pens in a completely randomized design for a period of 84 days. There was no treatment effect (P > .05) on dry matter intake. The highest body weight gain was recorded on the SSF- supplemented SPVM groups (P < .05) and the lowest (P < .05) on the SPVM-based diets without enzyme. Dressing percentage and P2 back fat thickness were not affected by dietary treatment (P > .05), but per cent ham was markedly reduced on the control compared with the enzyme-supplemented SPVM diets (P < .05). The relative weight of digesta in the stomach and small intestine was not affected by the diet (P > .05). Allzyme supplementation significantly reduced digesta weight in the large intestine (P < .05) even at 30% dietary SPVM. It was concluded that supplementation of the diet with Allzyme SSF will improve the utilization of up to 30% SPVM by grower pigs, reduce cost of pork production and add value to this by-product.
