Abstract

Fifty four landrace piglets weaning at 35 days were used for 5 weeks to study the effects of three levels of tallow (0%, 3% and 6%) feeding between 10.05 ±0.40 and 24.22± 1.32 kg of live weight during five weeks. Increases in the tallow percentage caused linear fashion in feed/gain ratio described by the following equation: Y = 2.14-0.055X (R2 = 0.74; P = 0.0467) where X is the tallow percentage and Y feed/gain ratio.
