[Slyfox]

Hey slyfox what you mean good luck hehehhe? I know you have the forumla why dont you share some of your trade secrets with us?

i already shared may booster/prestater feed formulation. i can't find the thread






kung gusto ninyo murang pagkain punta lang kayo sa fastfood chain doon maraming left over food ayan pweding pwede sa baboy. 

[mr hog]

slyfox what the last line you said?

[Slyfox]

dont experiment gestating , lactating ,boaster and prestater feed because this is the crucial time of pig.

 
there's a lot commercial feed in visayas and mindanao. 

[mikey]

I would be the first to agree,commercial feeds will always be a producer(s) first choice.Experimenting around,one needs to accept the losses that goes with it,if you cannot afford the losses,you cannot afford to experiment.The point of the article is,it is possible to make a mash for sows and boers.This formulation has its drawbacks,limited to only sows,needs some more experimenting and fine tuning.What works at one farm may not work at another farm.One needs a far amount of land to plant all these foodstuffs to make a mash.

Feeding Food Wastes to Livestock1
By Robert Myer and Holly Johnson2- Many food wastes have a high nutritional value, and recycling them for animal feed can be a viable waste disposal option.

What are Food Wastes?

The term "food waste" used in this fact sheet is applied to wasted food from the food service industry (i.e. restaurants) and grocery stores. These wastes include plate waste (scrapings), food leftovers, kitchen wastes, spoiled food, expired food, mislabeled food, etc. Other terms to describe these wastes include food residuals, plate waste and kitchen scraps. Two older terms, "garbage" and "swill," are still used, but the livestock and waste management industries prefer not to use these older terms.
Feeding Food Wastes to Livestock

Many kinds of food waste can be fed directly to livestock with minimal processing. Food waste that does not contain meat or meat by-products and has not been in contact with meat or meat by-products is exempt from federal and Florida regulations and can be fed to cattle and swine with no processing.

Food wastes that include meat or meat by-products or that have been in contact with meat or meat by-products can be fed to swine. Individuals who plan to feed swine this type of food waste must be licensed as food waste feeders (garbage feeders) by the state of Florida3. The state has adopted regulations set forth in the Federal 1980 Swine Health Protection Act.4 Under these regulations, food wastes with meat or meat by-products or that have been in contact with meat or meat by-products must be cooked at 212°F (100°C) (boiled) for at least 30 minutes before being used as swine feed. There over 100 licensed swine food waste feeders in Florida. Licenses must be renewed annually. The state of Florida has inspectors who will periodically visit swine food waste feeders to ensure that cooking regulations are being followed.

Cattle can be fed food wastes containing meat or meat by-products or that have been in contact with meat or meat by-products as long as these wastes were from food intended for human consumption. In January of 2004, however, the Federal government proposed four rule changes to restrict feeding of food waste containing meat to cattle. This proposal was the result of the first confirmed case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE; "mad cow disease") in cattle in the United States. One of these rules states that plate waste cannot be fed to ruminant animals. The reason for this proposed ban is that it is hard to distinguish protein of ruminant origin that may be in plate waste/food waste from protein of ruminant origin in banned rendered products. (Since 1997 it has been illegal in the USA to feed various rendered feed products such as meat and bone meal of ruminant origin to cattle and sheep and other ruminant animals. This ban was put in place in response to the BSE outbreak in Europe). As of 2007, however, the proposed rule changes have not been implemented. Therefore, it is still legal to feed food wastes that contain meat or that have been in contact with meat to cattle. Be aware that this can change in the future.

food waste is fed to growers usually.One problem with food waste is there is always a chance your hogs will get sick or worst case (death).Cooking food waste first,no guarantee your hogs will not get sick.Its a chance you take.Knowing the source of the food wastes is helpful.Good Luck.

Mikey,

I have made a swine formulation for fattener and sent it through your email. If you are really trying to look for an alternative feed you could try this although i cannot guarantee it for i have never tested it i have only computed it through referencing books. And also i would state that still the best feeds are the commercial feeds even it cost alot.

What i could only guarantee is that it is better compared to randomly feeding the pigs with just any feed stuff that is available.

Check also whether the cost to produce this feed is cheaper than what you are buying. If not then better to  continue your commercial feeds.

You could try to sample a few of your pig just to see if it is suited to their needs.
