Five weeks old piglets weighting between 5-6kg were used to conduct a trial on the effect of wet and dry feed on their early growth performance. Forty piglets were used for this trial and twenty piglets each were assigned to one of the two diets whose crude protein is 18.90% and metabolizable energy of 2650kcal/kg respectively. The piglets were randomly allotted to the two dietary treatments A (dry mash) and B (wet mash). Each treatment consisted of four replicates with five piglets per replicate. The mean daily feed intake, water consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency values were monitored and showed significant differences (p<0.05) between treatments. Considering the temperature, time expended on dry feed by the young piglets, the effectiveness of utilization as well as the case of preparing the wet mash, their use in early weaning of piglets by farmers in the tropics offers wonderful benefits for delivering them to the piglets are available.
