Data on chemical analysis of cassava, copra cake, meat and bone meal and the western Samoa commercial pig feeds are presented in table 2. The values obtained on cassava, copra cake and meat and bone meal are consistent with those reported elsewhere in the literature (pond and maner, 1974;agudu and Thomas,1982;ochetim,1986) All animals were healthy throughout the experimental period. Pigs fed fresh cassava feed supplemented with protein and the locally produced mineral-vitamin premix grew as fast as those fed the commercial feeds during both growing and finishing phases(table3).
