Abstract: The study "Supplementation of High Protein Feeds to Runt Piglets" was conducted from June 18 to July 16, 1990 at the Piggery Project of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, to determine the effect of protein feeds on the growth of runt piglets. Eight runt piglets were used in the study. They were grouped into two treatments and replicated twice with two piglets per replication. All the piglets were given the same care and management. However, two different rations were provided, hog starter mash for Treatment I and hog starter mash supplemented with higher level of protein for Treatment II. Ad 1111- tum feeding was provided in both treatments. Fresh clean water was made available at all times. The cumulative weight of the piglets in Treatment II posted higher weight with a mean of 34.5180 and 30.2280 kilograms for Treatment I. Differences in means were found to be statistically significant. The cumulative feed consumption was higher in Treatment I with 70.85 kgs. Than those in Treatment II which consumed 67.053 kilograms. On the other hand, the latter group of piglets exhibited better feed conversion efficiency than those in Treatment I. Differences were statistically significant and highly significant for feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency, respectively. The cumulative average daily gain of the piglets in Treatment II was higher by as much as .1782 kgs than those in Treatment I. There was significant difference observed when it was subjected to statistical analysis.
