Livestock Domain: Effect of soybean meal level in a rice bran-based diet on growing pig performance and economics in Cambodia.

This data was created from the results of a controlled study to evaluate the effect of increasing soybean meal in a rice bran-based diet on growth performance and economics of growing pigs. This study was conducted on a total of 60 growing pigs, in Cambodia. The study length was 52 days conducted at a local producer facility. Four pigs were allotted to each pen, based on starting body weight, to achieve an equal starting weight across the 4 feeding comparisons. Diet 1 has 3 replications (12 pigs) and diets 2, 3, and 4 have 4 replications (16 pigs per ration). The dataset includes formulas for diet formulations for each treatment group (a total of 4 treatments), data on Body Weight, Average Daily Feed, Average Daily Gain, and Feed Cost Ratio. This data was collected between April 6 and May 28, 2019. This data can be used by swine nutritionist, economists, and policy makers for developing recommendations for swine feeding. This dataset was collected through research of the project "Integrated Horticulture Livestock Systems" lead by Kansas State University, in partnership with the Royal University of Agriculture, as a part of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture.
