<![CDATA[This study aimed at investigation the effects of kapok banana corm fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger of a compound feed growing pigs on nutrient digestibility. Sixteen crossbred growing pigs Duroc x Landrace, (10 weeks of age; initial body weight 27 ± 3.92 kg) were allotted into four treatments in a randomized block design. There were four treatments diets offered: basal diets without corm fermented feeds (RO); basal diets + 7% corm fermented feeds (R1); basal diets + 14% corm fermented feeds (R2); basal diets + 21% corm fermented feeds (R3). Inclusion of 21% corm fermented feeds in the diet of pigs significantly reduced (P <0.01) dry matter intake and organic matter compared to the control diet. There were no significant different between 14% and 21% corm fermented feeds on the intake and digestibility of dry matter and organic matter of the pigs. However, inclusion of corm fermented feeds at the level of 7% showed the optimum digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and energy with the average value of 66.57%, 70.48%, 83.43% and 70.76%, respectively. It can be concluded that inclusion of corm fermented feeds as compound diet at the level of 7% increased dry matter digestibility and organic matter.]]>
