Evaluation of bovine rumen waste supplemented with nutrase xyla as a replacement for maize in pig weaner diets

Thirty-six weeks old male weaner pigs were used in this study to assess the replacement value of rumen content supplemented with nutrase xyla (enzyme) in replacement for maize in the diets of weaner pigs. There were five dietary treatments such that the test ingredient which is rumen content (RC) was supplemented with nutrase xyla and fed to replace 0,12.5, 25, 37.5 and 50% of dietary maize (40%). There was a decrease (p0.05) fed intake values with the pigs fed on the 50% RC-NX maize replacement diet and these were lower (p
