Variety of pig diet specs which might be of use in Uganda

 

How to use these tables:

Four different diets are presented –Creep for weaned pigs,  Grower diets for growing and finishing pigs and sow diets.    The fourth category is a general pig diet

In each category if the reader follows each column different options are given for ingredients in % of the diet – making a total of 100%.

These diets come from various sources and farmer’s opinions.  They are presented in order to provide the reader with feeding options depending on what food stuffs are available in the locality.  The diets are chosen to provide a range from a more “commercial” maize, soya, fat and mineral diets to a more local by-product range of diets.
