Growth Performance and Carcass Quality of Large White Yorkshire Pigs Feed on Various Levels of De-Oiled Mustard (Brassica juncea) Cake

Forty large white Yorkshire piglets (7-9 wks; 9-10 kg) were randomly diveded into equal groups and fed ration containing deoiled mustarad cake at 0 (T₁), 50 (T₂), 75 (T₃) and 100 (T₄) per cent as replacement of groundnut cake on iioniirogenwis basis for 16 wks. It was observed that growth, Feed consumption and feed efficiency were sognificantly (P<0.01) lower in T₃ and T₄ as compared to T₁ and T₂. The pigiets In T₂ performed as good as those in T₁ with a saving of about 6% oo feed cost. The carcass characteristics were lower in T₃ and T₄ as compared to T₁ and T₂ both of which were quite similar to each other.
