<![CDATA[EFFECT OF UTILIZATION OF COMMERCIAL AND LOCAL CONCENTRATE DIETS ON FEED EFFICIENCY OF STARTER PIGS. The present study was conducted to determine the comparison of feed efficiency of starter pigs consumed local and commercial concentrate diets. Twenty castrated male pigs were allocated in individual crate. Experimental design used in the present study was completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. Treatments were arranged as follows: R1=Pokphan’s concentrate diet 32% + yellow corn 50% + rice bran 18%; R2= Benfeed’s concentrate diet 32% + yellow corn 50% + rice bran 18%; R3= Cargill’s concentrate diet 32% + yellow corn 50% + rice bran 18%; R4= Local’s concentrate diet 32% + yellow corn 50% + rice bran 18%. Variables measured were daily feed consumption, daily gain, and feed efficiency. Research results showed that treatments gave no significant effect on daily feed consumption, daily gain and feed efficiency. It can be concluded that starter pigs gave a similar respons when either local concentrate or commercial concentrate diets. Keywords: commercial concentrate, local concentrate, starter pig]]>
