216 Ileal and Total Tract Digestibility in Growing Pigs Fed Cassava Root Meal and Rice Bran Diets With Inclusion of Fish Meal and Fresh or Ensiled Shrimp By-Products Le Due Ngoanl and Jan Erik Lindberg* Department of Animal Nutrition and Management, Swedish University of Agricultural P.O Box 7024, 75007 Uppsala, Sweden Sciences ABSTRACT : The digestibility of organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract and amino acids of a cassava root meal and rice bran diet, without (Basal) and with inclusion of fish meal (FM) or fresh (FSB) or ensiled (ESB) shrimp by-product in growing pigs (Large White x Mong Cai) fitted with post-valve T-caecum (PVTC) cannulas was studied in a X change-over experiment Significantly higher ileal digestibility of OM in the basal and FM diets and lower ileal digestibility of CP in the basal and ESB diets were found (p
