Abstract

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the use of the aquatic plants hay as ingredient of diets for growth swine. Ten swine with initial weight of 28.85 ± 2.95kg were used, distributed among the treatments: ration reference (RR) and ration tests (RT), where RT corresponded to 80% of added RR of 20% of aquatic plants hay. The digestibility assay was accomplished, being used as marker 1.0% of ferric oxide added to the diets and in the seventh day the collection of the feces was begun. The aquatic plants hay presented the following nutritional values of digestible energy: 812.26 kcal/kg; of digestible protein: -2.38% and of dry matter digestible: 12.90%.

KEY WORDS: Fiber, metabolism, pig.
