Cím:	A survey description of pig production systems in smallholder farms in Kenya / Joab Malanda Osotsi, Peter Balogh, Gabriella Novotniné Danko
Dátum:	2024
Megjegyzések:	Kenya's pig farming sector is characterized by the existence of a limited number of large-scale producers and numerous small-scale pig farmers who sell young and adult pigs for a living. In large-scale commercial systems improved genotypes and commercial feeds are used, with appropriate animal housing and good biosecurity measures. On the other hand, reduced herd sizes coupled with relatively low nutrition levels in small-scale production systems, translate into comparatively lower productive performance. An integrated livestock system is used in small-scale pig production systems incorporating crops and other livestock species. Farmers in the small-scale systems manage their pigs with family labor, and low input investments. Small-scale farmers in Kenya raise mostly Large-White and Landrace crossbreds in semi intensive conditions. Because feeds represents 70?85% of the pigs production costs, farmers in Kenya feed their pigs with a combination of on-farm ingredients or cultures and purchased balanced commercial feeds. In addition to feed expense, a farmer's profit margin from raising pigs is influenced by the price they get paid for the animals at the market. It was intended for the survey to ascertain pig production system as well as the production constraints. The survey played a critical role in revealing information that lay the groundwork for stakeholder engagement to close the knowledge and practice gap by encouraging farmers to increase their level of husbandry practices in local pig production systems.
