Highlights
Sustainability of smallholder pig production in Southern Africa can be strengthened if resource-limited le farmers keep hardy genotypes that require less nutrient dense feeds [1]
Le Methods: Diets were formulated to contain 0, 80, 160, 240, 320 and 400 g potato hash silage /kg of diet. ic Pigs were randomly assigned to six diets according to a completely randomized design
The results indicated that Windsnyer pigs can effectively utilize potato hash silage in diets until the 240 g/kg inclusion level beyond which total tract digestibility and feed intake are 50 compromised
Summary
Sustainability of smallholder pig production in Southern Africa can be strengthened if resource-limited le farmers keep hardy genotypes that require less nutrient dense feeds [1]. These include the slow-growing, ic indigenous pigs found in the region such as the Kolbroek, Mukota and Windsnyer [2]. Conserving slow-growing pig genetic resources and ep improving their productivity is crucial for the smallholder sector economy in developing countries. The c Agricultural Research Council (ARC) of South Africa has a program aimed at conserving purebred Ac Windsnyer pigs for breeding, production and research
