In the growing-finishing pig trial, feeds including raw rapeseed were eaten more slowly than the control feed. Feed conversion ratio of diets containing 5 and 10 % raw rapeseed was 5.3 and 9.1 % higher than that of the control diet. The 10 % extruded rapeseed diet led to the same results as the control diet. Fat content of carcasses was similar whatever the diet. By contrast, liver weight and consequently dressing percentage were affected by the presence of raw rapeseed in the diet.
