Objectives: To compare average daily gain (ADG) of Ugandan nursery and finisher pigs fed a commercial diet, a forage-based diet, or a silage-based diet, and to compare the cost effectiveness of the diets. Materials and methods: Each pig was randomly assigned to the commercial diet, the forage-ba...

Growth performance of pigs on smallholder farms in the tropics is low. Lack of feedstuffs, seasonal feed shortages, and feeding nutritionally unbalanced diets contribute to slow growth. Low-cost balanced diets are needed to improve pig performance. In this study, we estimated the nutrient require...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic metabolite of Aspergillus fungi that contaminates animal feed. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in the Greater Addis Ababa milk shed between September 2014 and February 2015. The objectives were to...

Carter, N.Dewey, C.E.Lukuyu, Ben A.Grace, DeliaLange, C.F.M. de[Silage-based diets for local and crossbred pigs in Uganda]Silage-based diets for local and crossbred pigs in Uganda

Introduction: Smallholder pig farmers in east Africa report that lack of feed, seasonal feed shortages, quality and cost of feed are key constraints to pig rearing. Commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and there is competition for food between pigs and people. Smallholder farmers typ...


Carter, N.Dewey, C.E.Grace, DeliaLange, K. de[Silage- and forage-based diets compared to commercial diets in Ugandan pig growth]Silage- and forage-based diets compared to commercial diets in Ugandan pig growth

Introduction: Smallholder pig farmers in east Africa typically wean pigs at 6 to 8 weeks. Farmers report that commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and therefore typically feed forage and food waste. This results in low average daily gain (ADG), especially for the newly weaned pig. Th...
