Abstract

A trial was carried out in order to evaluate the inclusion of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) in swine growing rations 20 Agroceres-PIC cross-bred swine weighting about 25.00 kg and fed rations with different levels of millet (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in substitution of the digestible energy furnished by corn. The experimental design used was the completely randomized with 5 replacing levels. With the results obtained in this experiment, it is concluded that the completely substitution of corn by millet is possible to be used in swine growing rations.
