      abstract = {The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of  compound plant extract on the growth performance and  economic benefits of Sujiang pigs during the fattening  period. A total of 50 Sujiang pigs, weighing about 60 kg  (there were no significant differences in the weight of the  pigs), were selected. They were randomly and evenly divided  into five groups: control group, A group, B group, C group  and D group. The pigs in the control group were fed basal  diet. For the pigs in the A, B, C and D groups, per kg of  basal diet was added with 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg of  compound plant extract, respectively. The experimental  duration was 44 d. The results showed that in the treatment  groups, the average daily weight gains were 15.57%, 20.68%,  17.95% and 7.31%, respectively higher than that of the  control group, the feed-gain ratios were 13.29%, 16.92%,  15.11% and 11.48%, respectively lower than that of the  control group (P>0.05), and the economic benefits were  62.65, 83.23, 72.50 and 42.11 yuan, respectively higher  than that of the control group. In conclusion, the addition  of compound plant extract in the basal diet of Sujiang pigs  during fattening period can improve the economic benefit,  and the economic benefit is best when the addition amount  is 200 mg/kg. },
