Yesterday I asked how you cut feed costs in piggery. Here are the three things that make a big difference: 1. Feed by stage, not one-size-fits-all. Piglets, growers, finishers and sows all need different rations. 2. Stop the wastage. A well-designed feeder, filled to the right level, can save a lot over a production cycle. 3. Buy ingredients smartly. If you mix your own feed, buy and store properly (dry, off the floor, away from rats) when prices are low. Please Note: Cheaper isn’t always better. Cutting corners on nutrition costs more in slow growth. If you’re unsure about your ration, get advice from an animal nutritionist.
