1  LIVESTOCKS / SWINE / What can i do with these table scraps, corn & rice bran? on: August 09, 2008, 04:47:39 PM
Hello Nemo,

The first time I found your site, I had to have this post addressed. I hope you could reply to this.

I have a take out counter and scraps of food has ballooned that could feed 3 pigs thereabouts. Since my dad died, me & my siblings were left with several hectares of land where we are being paid rent for the land of about 50 sacks of corn. Just last week, I was able to construct a 10 sq. met. pig pen and these 2 piglets could not eat all the scrap food I had been feeding them.

In about a month and a half we will be harvesting rice & corn. I could easily come up with 20 sacks of rice bran & about 50 sacks are to be paid the person who is renting our land.

What's interesting is that my take-out counter demands us to butcher 1 hog per week. If I could complete 1 cycle (which is about 4 months), my take-out counter would need 14-16 hogs -which I really would want to raise on a 2000 sq meter i have near my house, to cater to my food business.

My question is, how would I prepare these available feeds so that I might be able to sustain my pigs? What food materials should I be able to purchase to supplement these available materials? What would be an ideal percentage food constituency would I be formulating in order to meet the basic diet needs of the pigs

Thanks,

Gun
