    abstract = {Thirty-six large White X Landrace pigs weighing on the average 19.50±1.06 kg at 16 weeks of age were used to study the effect of corn cob meal on the performance of grower pigs.  The pigs were divided into 4 treatment groups consisting of 9 per pigs treatment group.  Each treatment group was further replicated 3 times 3 pigs per replicate.  Four experimental diets were formulated with corn cob meal at 0, 5, 10 and 15% inclusion levels and fed to the pigs in a completely randomized design.  Water and feed were provided <I>ad libitum.</I>  Daily feed intake and digestible energy intake were significantly different (p&lt;0.05) between treatment means.  Daily weight gain, feed intake/kg live weight gain (F/g ratio) and digestible energy consumed/per kg live weight gain (DE/kg<SUP>10</SUP>) did not show any significant (p&gt;0.05) difference between treatment means, however, there was significant (p&lt;0.05) difference at 15% inclusion level.  The results show that 15% corn cob meal inclusion affected the performance of pigs.}
