title: [The energetic utilization of rations with steamed potatoes in growing swine].
abstract: The energetic utilization of rations with steamed potatoes (40 and 50% of DM of ration) was measured in 8 growing pigs, live weight 30-70 kg by means of respiration experimental techniques. The experiments were carried out using the difference method (3 periods feeding basal diet and 3 periods feeding basal diet plus potatoes). The digestibility of energy of the steamed potatoes amounted to 94%, that of organic substances 96% and that of crude protein 77%. The metabolizable energy amounted to 16.1 and the energy deposition to 12.0 MJ/kg DM of steamed potatoes, 74.5% utilization respectively. The results in growing pigs are very similar to the results in adult pigs.
