Abstract: This study investigated the effects of dietary replacement of soybean meal with different proportions of fermented palm kernel cake (FPKC) on growth performance, serum parameters, and slaughter performance of finishing pigs, thereby providing a reference for the application of FPKC in finishing pig diets. Ninety-six finishing pigs were randomly assigned to four groups, with six replicates per group and four pigs per replicate. Pigs in the control group received a basal diet, whereas those in treatment groupsⅠ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ received experimental diets supplemented with 5%, 10%, and 15% FPKC, respectively, with corn and soybean meal proportions adjusted to maintain comparable digestible energy and crude protein levels. The feeding trial lasted for 8 weeks. Compared with the control group, pigs ' final body weight increased by 4.74%, 6.40%, and 3.80%; ADFI increased by 6.97%, 12.89%, and 5.23%; and ADG increased by 12.94%, 16.47%, and 8.24% in the 5%, 10%, and 15% FPKC groups, respectively (P<0.05), with the 10% FPKC group showing the best growth performance. The feed-to-gain ratio did not differ among groups (P>0.05). Serum total protein increased by 4.90%, 6.17%, and 9.60%, respectively (P<0.05), whereas glucose, total cholesterol, and urea nitrogen did not differ significantly (P>0.05). SOD, GSH-Px, and T-AOC increased by 7.58%~17.98%, 15.35%~33.67%, and 1.94%~9.68%, respectively, while MDA decreased by 11.06%~35.18% (P<0.05). IgA and IgG were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas IgM and TNF-α did not differ significantly (P>0.05). Organ indices, dressing percentage, backfat thickness, and lean meat percentage showed no significant differences among groups (P>0.05), whereas the carcass weight was significantly increased (P<0.05). Dietary inclusion of FPKC improved growth performance, antioxidant activity, and immune function in finishing pigs. Based on the overall experimental data of this study, it was recommended that 10% FPKC be included in the basal diet.

Key words: finishing pigs, fermented palm kernel cake, growth performance, serum biochemical indices, antioxidant parameters, slaughter performance
