Namuddu, the best way to begin piggery is to start with a few, learn from them then grow in the farming. Piggery needs Patience. Apollo Makiika.

want to know how to manufacture pig feed.
Makiika Apollo
Emmanuel, in response to your question, there are many theories on the internet about making pig food. But most of these recipes are applicable to developed countries and are very expensive to African countries that are developing.
The pig can utilize wide variety of feed stuffs viz. Grains, forages, damaged feeds and garbage and convert them into valuable nutritious meat. Feeding of damaged grains, garbage and other home wastes reduce the stress of buying food stuffs hence spending less or no money on food.
I do pick egg shells from restaurants and hotels, fry them and crush them, mix them in the maize and rice brand. Eggshells add calcium to the pig. I also mix in fried soya bean four for proteins.
another recipe is collecting banana peelings, boil them and add molasses. Its a great meal for pigs. In six months a pig is ready for EATING.
I have studied different methods of making pig food but the most appealing methods that are cheap and can be processed with our local foods are found in South Korea and Philippines.
I will share with you more methods that am learning. Apollo.

Hi I have two pigs( sow's ) I went to them and found they are stiff in all legs, I lifted one back leg and it felt warm but not tender, they have access to out side but I have stopped them going in the mud (it has been raining for a while) and they have good shelter have you eny ideas what I can do, its been a few days now and getting a bit worried. I have two pigs and a few chicken's, could they have got something of the chicken's?
Dan
Ann, please phone your vet. If your animals are exhibiting any sort of discomfort or abnormal behaviour that you can't explain the only way to get a definitive answer is to get a professional to examine them.
