ABSTRACT

The present study was carried out on 3-4 months old desi piglets maintained under AICRP
on pig breeding, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand. The control group was fed
standard diets containing 60% maize. In experimental groups maize was replaced with tamarind
seed either at 50%(T2) or 100%(T3) on w/w basis. The daily DM intake varied but differences
were non-significant. The digestibility co-efficient of DM, EE, NFE and organic matter between
groups were also similar. The digestibility co-efficient of crude protein was significantly low in
T3. However the digestibility of crude fiber significantly improved in T3 group. Balance of N, P
and Ca were positive in all the three groups and differences were found to be non-significant
