Abstract
Inclusion of animal and industrial wastes in the rations of
ruminants is receiving constant attention due to continuous pressure
on conventional feed ingredients. Dried faeces from fattening swine
contains 27 per cent crude protein and is reported to be lower in
crude fibre and cell wall constituents as compared to dehydrated
layer waste (Bhattacharya and Taylor, 1975). Gilka et al., (1978) used
swine excreta in growing and finishing swine rations 1nd Ngian and
Pearch (1980) in rations of sheep after alkali treatment. Slanogias
and pearce (1978) did not observe any undesirable effect of including
swine excreta in the cattle rations though the digestibility of nutrients
decreased with increased level of inclusion. In the present study
inclusion of sundried swine excreta in the ration of growing crossbred
calves on the performance characteristics was investigated.
