The faba beans was tested in the swine feeding at Santa Rosa Research and Production Estation, using forty castred male pigs from Landrace x Large White crossing. With an initial weight of 23.0 kg, the pigs were distributed at a completely randomized blocks and slaughtered when they reached 110.0 kg. The carcass were evaluated by the Brasilian Carcass Classification Method, being analised the industrial cameous cut and colected samples from the subcutaneuos fatness for iodine index analysis. The protein from soybean meai was substituted in O , 25 , 50 , 75 , and 100% for the faba bean protein at five treatments with ligth replications each. The resulta did not show any significant difference (P > 0.05) at the growing period up to 100% of substitution and at the finishing period up to 50% of substitution. The carcass characteristics, the industrial cameous cut, and the fatness quality were not influenced by the addition of faba beans up to the level of 56.2% in the growing period and up to 33.4% at the finishing period (P > 0.05), corresponding up to 100% of substitution.
