Se evaluó el comportamiento zootécnico-productivo de 10 cerdas paridas, sus crías y 30 cerdos de ceba, al incluir en la dieta follaje fresco troceado de boniato (Ipomoea batatas). Se tuvo en consideración elahorro de pienso en los cerdos de ceba. Los tratamientos fueron: 0 y 2 kg de follaje encerdas paridas, y 0, 2 y 3 kg en cerdos de ceba. Se ob-tuvo buen comportamiento al incluir 2 kg de este producto en las cerdas y 3 kg en la ceba. Se observó que se ahorran 400 g/día de pienso si se utiliza este residuo en la ceba final de cerdos.ABSTRACTZootechnical and productive performance of ten female swines, their offspring, and thirty fattening swines was evaluated by supplementing their diet with fresh sweet-potato foliage chopped into small pieces. Animal feedstuff saving in fattening swines diet was taken into account. Two treatments were implemented: 0 kg and 2 kg of chopped foliage for female swines, and 0,2 kg and 3 kg of chopped foliage for fattening swines. Findings indicated a better performance when diets were supplements with 2 kg of chopped foliage for female swines and 3 kg for fattening swines. Besides, 400 g/day of animal feedstuff was saved byincluding sweet potato leaf-wastes into swine finishing diet
