Carter, N.Dewey, C.E.Grace, DeliaLukuyu, Ben A.Humphries, S.Lange, C.F.M. de[Development of balanced diets using local feeds for smallholder East African pigs: Implications for livelihoods and food security]Development of balanced diets using local feeds for smallholder East African pigs: Implications for livelihoods and food security

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...


Carter, Natalie A.Dewey, C.E.Grace, DeliaLukuyu, Ben A.Smith, E.Lange, C.F.M. de[Average daily gain and the impact of starting body weight of individual nursery and finisher Ugandan pigs fed a commercial diet, a forage-based diet, or a silage-based diet]Average daily gain and the impact of starting body weight of individual nursery and finisher Ugandan pigs fed a commercial diet, a forage-based diet, or a silage-based diet

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...

By acquiring livestock poor farmers can ascend out of poverty. Pigs require minimal inputs and raising them is often within disadvantaged members of society’s means. In East Africa, 2.2 million pigs are raised by resource-poor, subsistence farmers most with under 2 hectares of cropland. They typi...

In this study nutritional values and seasonal availability of 43 local feed ingredients for pigs in Uganda, were estimated based on nutrient analyses and literature values, information needed to develop low-cost balanced rations for pigs on smallholder farms. Parameters considered were: concentra...

In this study, nutritional values and seasonal availability were estimated for 25 local feedstuffs for pigs in western Kenya, based on analyzed nutrient contents and a review of the literature. Characteristics considered included: crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent ...

The objective of this study was to determine the average daily gain (ADG) of pigs on rural and peri-urban smallholder farms in two districts of Western Kenya, in order to establish a baseline to measure the impact of future management interventions. Average daily gain (kilograms per day) for 664 ...
