The aim of the research was directed to: assess the nutritional potential and the impact on production indices, blood and economic, using in the food of the young pig breeding, the nut kernel cake in different proportions. The results of the analysis of the chemical composition showed that the nut kernel cake contains: 4.19% nitrogen, 26.2% crude protein, 9.34% crude cellulose, 13.6% fat, 12.69 Mj/kg metabolizable energy, 0.33% calcium and 0.44% phosphorus. The results of this study indicate that nut kernel cake represents a viable solution for the partial replacement of soybean meal in the food of the young pigs, because the use of the amount of 4%/t and 8%/t of compound fodder, reduces feed consumption by 3.8% and 5.2%, increases feed conversion rate by 5.3%-4.5%, the average daily increase in the experiment increases by 1.4%, does not negatively affect the state of health and blood indices reduces the cost price of 1kg of compound fodder on average by 1.3 and 2.2 cents.
