Nagaland is a state in northeast India with around 2 million inhabitants. Pork occupies an important place in the diet. Most people buy and sell pork in informal markets (called wet markets) where there is little safety and quality regulation. As part of a larger project on competitiveness of sma...

A knowledge of the level of genetic diversity is very important in ensuring the sustainable utilisation of animal genetic resources. To this end, the genetic diversity of some local pigswas assessed by genotyping 86 unrelated pigs in four regions of Ghana namely Northern (Tingoli = 9), Upper West...

The rapid transformation of the livestock sector in recent decades brought concerns on its impact on greenhouse gas emissions, disruptions to nitrogen and phosphorous cycles and on land use change, particularly deforestation for production of feed crops. Animal and human health are increasingly i...

The findings from risk analysis of pork supply chains in peri-urban Hanoi suggest important implications for food safety policy in Vietnam. Pork is a dominant source of animal-protein intake in the Vietnamese diet. Demand for pork is growing along with economic growth and thus provides opportunit...

Vietnam relies heavily for its supply of pork (an important part of the Vietnamese diet) on small-scale household pig producers. Some Vietnamese policy makers believe this dependence to be uneconomical and favour the development of large-scale commercial piggeries to achieve potential economies o...

Forage can potentially be food resource for pig feeding in the tropics. The palatability of silages by pigs may be better than that of fresh forage. Foliage silage contains more dry matter than green forage and has a pleasant smell. Thirty commercial pigs (47.0 ± 4.7 kg live weight LW), were used...

The current study investigated the occurrence of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) protozoa and associated risk factors in free range pigs in Busia District, Kenya. A total of 306 pigs from 135 farms in 6 Divisions were sampled for feces, which were analysed for parasites using direct smear and McMast...

BACKGROUND Smallholders in the tropics depend on local protein supplements to balance pig diets. Thus, various tropical forage legumes are a potential feeding option. Ensiling allows converting forages into a ready-to-feed-out choice, but the lactic acid fermentation may influence various (anti)n...

Pigs self-fed diets in which whole cottonseed (including the hulls) replaced one third, two thirds or all the protein supplied by soybean meal gained at a reduced rate and mortality resulted at the highest levels. Iron from ferrous sulfate was ineffective in preventing toxicity because of physica...
