Abstract: DIMAANDAL, ALFREDO A. Utilization of Gabi (Colocasia -esculenta Linn.) for Fattening Swine. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2003. Adviser: Dr. Pedro Q. Olabe. A study was conducted at Munting Tubig, Ibaan, Batangas from May to September 2002 to determine the effects of gabi as feedstuff in the growth, feed consumption and feed efficiency of fattening pigs. It also aimed to determine the effect of gabi in carcass quality, backfat thickness, percent lean cut yield and percent fat cut yield and organoleptic properties of the meat. Likewise, it also tried to determine the optimum level of gabi for fattening pigs and the economic evaluation of incorporating gabi to commercial feeds. Four treatment groups with a total of eight heads of crossbred (Large white x Landrace) weanling pigs were used with different levels of gabi supplementation as follows: Treatment I (100% concentrate feeds); Treatment Il (85% concentrate feeds and 15% cooked gabi); Treatment Ill (70% concentrate feeds and 30% cooked gabi); Treatment IV, (65% concentrate feeds and 35% cooked gabi). The results revealed no significant (P> 0.05) differences in final gain and body weights, feed consumption and feed efficiency. No significant (P>0.05) differences were also observed in sensory evaluation. Utilization of gabi has good effect in carcass quality, percent lean cut yield and percent fat cut yield. Mortality occurred in Treatment IV at the age of one and half months. Treatment Il was found most profitable.
