Abstract
From time to time during the course of the present war, pig feeders have reported that they have experienced considerable difficulty when making use of extracted palm-kernel meal as a major constituent of the rations of bacon pigs. This has been attributed partly to the lack of palatability of the extracted meal, which leads to a reduction in food consumption and a consequent depression in the rate of live weight increase, and partly to its high fibre content, which causes the ration to be somewhat bulky and of lowered digestibility and nutritive value. The present experiments were designed to throw light on these somewhat contentious matters, since little guidance is to be obtained from the scanty references to this subject in the scientific literature dealing with animal nutrition.
