Piggery Management

Feeding formulations should be dependent on age and production function that is to say piglets’ fatteners, Lactating sows among others.

Young need high protein content feeds so as to gain weight very fast, fatteners should eat high concentration of carbohydrates and for the case of breeders theirs should be balanced so as to avoid distocia (difficulty during delivery) and obesity.
