The experiment was conducted in the Centre for Livestock and Agriculture Development (CelAgrid) in Cambodia. Four crossbred castrated male pigs, weighing on average 20 kg, were allotted at random to 4 diets, in a 2x2 factorial within a 4x4 Latin square, to study the effect of ensiled and sundried Taro leaves on intake, digestibility and N retention. The basal diets were rice bran + broken rice or rice bran + cassava root meal (1:1 ratio).
