THIS, is the "reincarnated" blog on my new domain: TayoSolagbade.com. Click "What Happened to SpontaneousDevelopmentDotCom ?" below :-))

Fact Sheet 3 of 4: Feeding Pigs Cheaply (FPC)™ – Tested Low Cost Alternative Feeding Ideas

Written by Tayo Solagbade

Topics: Excel-VB Solutions, Farm Biz, My DN Travel News, The Farm CEO

This is the 3rd installment of my Feeding Pigs Cheaply (FPC)™ series, that I’m sending out via email to clients who signed up.

In this edition, I highlight traditional and non traditional materials used to feed pigs kept in confinement – as happens in intensive commercial rearing settings.

This includes a grain based ration formula recommended by a practising Pig Farm Consultant as being suitable for feeding all classes of pigs. But it also discusses alternatives to grain based feeding, which – if done right – offer potentially superior results.

An alternative to grain based feeding of animals is also featured as being viable for adoption to improve pig performance – if done right.

Also included is an abstract, plus download URL to the PDF for a study that concludes the meal made from a certain fruit nut “can be included in the diets of weaner pigs to replace soyabean meal up to 10% level with little or no deleterious effect on rate of gain.”
