EVALUATION OF CONVERSION FOOD / WEIGHT OF PIGS IN DEVELOPMENT STAGE UNDERGOING A DIET OF Moringa oleifera Lam.

This study is defined as an experimental research with pretest and posttest design, internal control to ensure the validity of the research group; whose objective was to evaluate the food / weight of piglets in development under a diet of Moringa oleifera Lam conversion; three groups: a control and two experimental organized, all subject to diets for eight (8) weeks. For the nutrition of the experimental groups flour it was made from forage Moringa oleifera Lam, characterized by a proximal analysis from which the food is made by replacing the nutrients provided by soybeans at 20 and 30%, supplied to two experimental groups of pigs formed by six subjects each, compared with a control group (based on commercial feed). Data were collected using a log table whose data were processed by statistical analysis using an "analysis of variance factor" with the help of SPSS software, version 18.0. a p-value equal to 0.509 for an alpha of 0.05 allowing accept the null hypothesis which states that there is no statistically significant difference between experimental groups and the control group, thus rejecting, the research hypothesis was obtained.
