In the North-East of Thailand native, so-called Kadon pigs are typically kept on small-holder farms. Kadon pig is believed to be on the edge of extinction and in 2003 it was designated as a protected species of production animals. The main objective of this thesis was to study various nutritional aspects of Kadon pigs. Chapter 1, providing quantitative information on growth performance, organ weights, carcass composition and fatty acid profiles in the meat of female and male Kadon pigs. Carcass weight was about 65% of slaughter weight. Average back fat thickness tended to be higher in females than in males. Macronutrient digestibility was determined in Kadon pigs fed diets containing either ground corn, rice bran, broken rice or cassava chi...
