Abstract
and DF. Likewise, there was no effect (P> 0.05) for the weight of the GIT, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, caecum and liver. There were also no differences (P> 0.05) for the elongation of the GIT, small intestine, large intestine and cecum. Under the conditions of this study, the use of taro tuber meal as a partial substitution of corn in the diet is feasible, since it does not have a negative influence on the indicators of productive performance nor on the morphometry of the gastrointestinal organs of fattening pigs.
