Abstract

The study aimed at evaluating effect Sweet (Sauropus androgynus L. Merr) leaves meal (SLM) inclusion into feed on performance and Income over Feed Cost (IOFC) of growing pigs. There were 12 landrace crossbred barrows 4-5 months of age with 26.5-55.5kg (CV = 19.69%) initial bodyweight used in a feeding trial. Randomized block design 4 treatments with 3 replicate procedures were applied. The 4 treatment feeds offered in the feeding trial were: (1) T0: 100% basal feed; (2) T1: 97% basal feed + 3% SLM; (3) T2: 94% basal feed + 6% SLM; and (4) T3: 91% basal feed 9% SLM. Variables evaluated were performances (feed intake, weight gain, and feed conversion) and IOFC. Statistical analysis shows that the effect of including SLM into basal feed is not significant (P>0.05) on either performance or IOFC of the pigs. The conclusion is that including Sweet leaves meal inclusion into basal feed performs similar values with basal feed, and up to 9% tends to be higher in performances and IOFC in grower pigs.
