Abstract

This experiment was to evaluate the effects of dietary protein level on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility and carcass quality of Zaozhuang Heigai pigs. A total of 112 Zaozhuang Heigai pigs at the age of 70 days with an average body weight of (20.48±2.54) kg were randomly allotted into four groups with 4 replicates per group and 7 pigs per replicate. In growing period (20 to 50 kg), the pigs of trial groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were fed diets with the protein levels of 16%, 14% and 12%, respectively. The finishing period (51 to 90 kg), the pigs of trial groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were fed diets with the protein levels of 14%, 12% and 10%, respectively. The pigs of control group were fed a diet with the protein level of 10% in growing and finishing periods. The experiment lasted for 169 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the middle body weight, final body weight, average daily gain of growing period and average daily gain of finishing period of pigs were increased by 16.83% (P<0.05), 12.71% (P<0.05), 25.57% (P<0.05) and 7.20% (P>0.05) in trial group Ⅰ, and were increased by 18.08% (P<0.01), 15.37% (P<0.01), 27.29% (P<0.01) and 11.75% (P<0.05) in trial group Ⅱ, respectively, but those indices in trial group Ⅲ had no significant changes, although the data of them increased. 2) Compared with the control group, the apparent digestibility of crude protein, calcium, phosphorus, acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) was significantly increased of pigs in trial groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 3) Compared with the control group, the lean meat percentage, loin eye area and the percentage of ham were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the back-fat thickness and muscle fiber diameter were significantly decreased in trial group Ⅱ (P<0.05). It is concluded that the appropriate protein levels of diets for Zaozhuang Heigai pigs in growing and finishing periods are 14% and 12%, respectively.
