ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted to assess the growth performance and carcass traits of Duroc x
(Large White Yorkshire x Landrace) pigs under different feeding regimes. Twenty four weaned
piglets were divided into four groups of six animals each . First group (T1) was maintained on farm
concentrate. Piglets belonging to T2, T3 and T4 were fed with swill feed. In addition to this, T3 and
T4 group were supplemented with inorganic and organic minerals @ 1% of dry matter, respectively.
There was no significant difference in monthly body weights, body measurements, ADG and average
daily feed intake between T1 and T2. T4 was significantly (P
