Reduction in the use of
soyabean
oil-meal in cereal based diets(maize
andwheat)
was madein the
following
way :- - by decreasing
thedietary
crudeprotein
levelduring
thefinishing period (6o- 1 0 3 kg) - by L-lysine supplementation
of diets with a low crudeprotein
contentduring
thegrowing-
finishing period
or thefinishing period.

For castvated
males,
aprotein
level of 18 p. ioo till 60kg
liveweight
followedby
i4 p. 100tillslaughter
resulted in thehighest growth performances
and the best feed conversion ratios.For females,
there was nosignificant
difference between the results obtained with thefollowing
allowances :
- 18 p. ioo crude
protein
till 60kg
liveweight
- 16 p. ioo crudeprotein
from6 0 - 103 kg

- 18 p. 100crude

- 14 p. roo crudeprotein

+lysine supplementation during
the wholegrowing-finishing period (o.!o

and 0.20p. ioo from 60 to 103kg).

For the two sexes, the best
performances
were obtained with thefollowing
allowances :- --
y.! p. 100 crude
protein during
thegrowing-finishing period,
- - y.s p. 100 crude
protein
till 60kg
liveweight,
- i6.!
p. ioo crudeprotein
from 60 to 103kg
liveweight.
Lysine supplementation applied during
thefinishing period
orduring
the wholegrowing- finishing period
to a basal dietcontaining
14 p. 100crudeprotein
did not lead to the sameperfor-
mances as the diets
containing
y.s and1 6. 7
p. loo crudeprotein
and this raises thequestion
ofthe involvement of other
