Abstract The study was conducted to determine if Vachellia tortilis leaf meal inclusion affect the adaptation periods in finishing pigs. A total of 48 clinically healthy male Large White × Landrace male pigs with a mean (± SD) body weight of 63.8 ± 3.28 kg aged 14 weeks were used. Pigs were assigned to individual pens in a completely randomized design and allotted to each of six experimental diets which contained 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 g/kg DM of V. tortilis leaf meal.
