Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the influence of feeding wild sotti rhizomes, Curcuma zedoaria, as replacement of corn in crossbred pigs on growth and feed efficiency. The results of the study suggested that wild sotti rhizomes could serve as replacement of corn to the extent of 50% in growing crossbred pigs with no effect on feed intake, growth and feed efficiency.
