Comparative Evaluation of Carcass Cut and Meat Quality of Finisher’s Pigs Fed Rice Offal’s and Millet Hulls Based Diets
Abstract
This research is to Comparatively Evaluate carcass cut and meat quality of finisher’s pigs fed rice offal’s and millet hulls-based diets and to evaluate the effect of rice offal and millet-based diet on finishers pigs, to study the pH and water holding capacity of pork samples after slaughter and to Investigate the proximate analysis of specific pork cuts. The study was carried out at the Swine unit of Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Animal Production and Health, Federal University Wukari, Taraba State. Eighteen (18) mixed local breeds of grower’s pigs with an initial weight of 26.83kg were sourced within Wukari metropolis. The pigs were divided into three treatment groups of six animals per group replicated three times in a completely randomized design. Each pen was provided with feeders; drinkers and the animals were fed ad libitum and the experiment lasted for 56 days. The final weight at slaughter is 80.07±01. Results of this study indicate that finisher pigs fed a diet with either rice offal’s or millet hulls produced carcasses with similar proximate composition and mineral content to those fed a control diet. However, pigs fed the millet hull-based diet had lower moisture and higher ether extract content in their ham compared to pigs fed the other diets. There were no significant differences in proximate composition or mineral content between diets.
