Comparison of the digestible energy content of maize, oats and alfalfa between the European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) and Landrace × Large White pig (Sus scrofa domesticus)

摘要: Abstract The objective of the current study was to compare digestible energy (DE) contents maize, oats and alfalfa meal between European wild boar ( Sus scrofa L.) domestic pig S. domesticus , Landrace × Large White). Six pure six pigs (Landrace × Large White) with liveweights (mean ± S.E.M.) 26 ± 0.6 21 ± 1.1 kg, respectively, were fed diets at a daily level 0.10 × metabolic body weight W 0.75 ). included base diet three experimental containing 700 g basal diet/kg 300 g or meal/kg; all animals received four diets. Chromic oxide used as indigestible marker. each for an 8-day period fecal samples collected on days 6, 7 8. DE content calculated ingredient statistically compared pig. For maize oats, there no significant difference in values boar. However, value greater (10.56 MJ kg −1  DM) than (8.48 MJ kg  DM). ingredients that contain relatively low concentrations fibre (such oats), it appears determined can be validly applied formulation boars; however, higher levels, appear lower those
