Abstract
digestibility of sweat potato foliage in the pigs. The diet supplied only influenced significantly (P < 0.05) on the rectal digestibility of the OM measured in in situ. Coincidence was found in the rectal digestibility of the DM (49.4 and 50.2%), nitrogen (N) (44.7 and 45.4%) and the energy of sweet potato foliage (45.6 and 46.7%), when the nutritive value was measured in vivo and in situ. It is suggested that the nutritive values of sweet potato foliage diets can be determined in mouth-rectum of pigs by in vivo and in situ procedures differently, through the technique of mobile bag.
Key words: swine, digestion, ileum, rectum, foliar sweet potato.
