1 SWINE FEED COMPONENTS

What’s In

Rice bran, broken rice, maize, soya-beans, cassava, vegetables and distillers’
residues are often used in pig feed.

What’s New

Results of a feed program depend on the amounts of total digestible nutrients

included and the way in which they are used. Therefore, it is important that
ration must be in the right balanced

What Is It

Feeds should meet the animal’s needs for maintenance, growth and
reproduction. Good pig feed contains sufficient energy, protein, minerals and
vitamins. Rice bran, broken rice, maize, soya-beans, cassava, vegetables and
distillers’ residues are often used in pig feed

Values of different feeds vary. Results of a feed program depend on the

amounts of total digestible nutrients included and the way in which they are
used. Balanced rations are important also. It is important that the ration
contain proper amounts of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. In
addition to the composition of the feed itself, feeding results will depend
greatly on the methods of management.

The types of swine feeds are as follows:

A. Grain and Mill Feeds

The grains and mill feeds are the basis of all pig feeding and for any purpose
except mere maintenance they must form the larger part of the ration.

2 NegOr_Q3_AnimalProd10_Module1_v2
Pastures should be considered as a means of saving grain. Some types of
these feeds are:

Rice Bran: This is very suitable for pig feeding. It contains 11% protein and
can be used as the main ingredient in most feeds. Rice bran can be mixed
with other feeds to 30 - 45%. However, it can be kept for no longer than 1
month because it will become moldy.

Broken Rice: This is also very suitable for pig feeding. It can be mixed with
other feeds up to 15 - 20%. Broken rice contains about 8% protein.

Maize: This is a very good animal feed. It contains up to 65% carbohydrates

and 9% protein. It can be mixed and cooked with other feeds, but not more
than 40% in the mix ration.

Soybeans: This is a crop that has a high nutritional value and is very good
for pig feeding. It contains 38% protein (very high), and should be dried,
milled, or well-cooked in combination with other feed stuffs like rice bran,
broken rice and maize.

Wheat Bran: This is particularly rich in dietary fiber and contains significant
quantities of carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Wheat Bran is
widely used as a major component in animal feed. It contains Protein 14% -
16%, Fat Max. 9.5%, Crude Fiber 8 - 10% and carbohydrate up to 25%.

B. Supplemental Feeds

Supplemental feeds are used with grain and mill feeds to provide the
constituents commonly lacking, thus making the-entire ration more useful to
the animal. When so used, these supplemental feeds give returns far in excess
of what their total digestible nutrients would indicate. When used in large
amounts, however, they are both expensive and unsatisfactory. More than
one supplement need not be used in the same ration. With good legume or
rape pasture none is needed.

Commonly used supplement feeds are:

Fish meal, coarsely ground powder made from the cooked flesh of fish.
Though formerly important as a fertilizer, fish meal is now primarily used
in animal feed—especially for poultry, swine, mink, farm-raised fish, and pets.

Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and
slaughter-house waste products. It is used as an organic fertilizer for plants
and as a nutritional supplement for animals. A bone meal is primarily used
as a source of phosphorus and protein.

Salt maintains the mineral balance of the animals at the right level and keeps
your livestock healthy. It is advisable to opt for sea salt because this type
of salt also contains additional essential minerals and trace elements.

C. Succulent Feeds

Scientific experiments and common farm experience have demonstrated the

value of adding succulent feeds to the rations for livestock. The laxative effect
keeps stock healthy. Because of their beneficial effect upon the digestive
system, succulent feeds give unusually good returns in proportion to the
nutrients contained. High water content prohibits feeding them in large
amounts. For example, it would take 100 pounds of mangels per day to supply
sufficient nutrients for a 200-pound fattening pig. Here are some of those
kind;

Fruits: Fruits damaged during transportation, storage and handling are used
as supplementary feeds for pigs by boiling and mixing with other feed such
as rice bran, broken rice and maize. They can also be given fresh. Suitable
fruits include: bananas, papaya, apples, pears, and melons.

Vegetables: Vegetables damaged during transportation, storage and handling

are also used as supplementary feeds for pigs by boiling and mixing with other
feeds such as rice bran, broken rice and maize. They can also be given fresh.
Suitable vegetables include: cabbage, lettuce, spinach, morning glory, sweet
potato vine, cola-cassia (needs boiling), pumpkin, gourds, and water hyacinth.

Chayote: Both the fruit (vegetable) and the seed are rich in amino acids
and vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Fruit is very low in
calories (12 calories per 100 g on average), and chayote contains 0.5%
protein, 0.2% lipids and 2% sugars.

Banana Stem: The best way of feeding fresh green banana or plantain
fruits is to chop them and sprinkle some salt on the slices since the fruits
are very low in organic nutrients. Cattle and pigs relish this material. For
ensiling purposes, the chopped green bananas or plantains are preferred
to the ripe fruits which lose some of their dry matter and, in particular,
their sugars during ensiling. Similarly, green fruits are more easily dried
than ripe fruits which are very difficult to completely dehydrate.

Winter melon (Wax Gourd, White Gourd, Ash Gourd): The Winter Melon
is a very large gourd that can grow to up to 50lbs or more can typically be
stored for up to 12 months, but after it is cut open, it can only be stored
for a single week. It contains very low Saturated Fat and Cholesterol, and
is also a good source of Thiamin, Iron, Magnesium and Manganese, and a
very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Zinc, and is very
high in Sodium.

D. Roughage

Roughages for pigs is nearly always from some of the legumes, since they
contain certain protein, vitamin, and mineral constituents which the grains
and mill feeds lack. In this way they take the place of supplements. Legumes
are not as satisfactory as tankage or milk for that purpose, since they cannot

4 NegOr_Q3_AnimalProd10_Module1_v2
be fed in sufficient amounts without forcing the pig to eat too much fiber.
Example to such are:

Ipil: Leucaena and Acacia are traditional, locally available tree-crops, and the
leaves are rich in protein. After drying, they can be mixed and fed to pigs with
other feeds.

Green Soya bean plant: A rich source of vegetable protein and fiber.

Alfalfa: Although low in fiber, alfalfa is palatable to pigs as well as being easily
digestible. It is the best nutritional package you can put into the rations you
use to feed your livestock, dairy cattle, poultry or pigs. It also contains a blend
of 47 nutritional elements, and provides one of nature’s most liberal balances
of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Mulberry: The protein content 89 g/kg dry matter in the fresh foliage of
mulberry leaves is well utilized by growing pigs that are fed a basal diet of
broken rice.

Forms of feeds given to pigs:

1. Commercially prepared swine rations from grain, fruit, an d vegetables.

2. Vegetable, fruit, or bread scraps that have not been contact with animal
products or by-products and is properly cooked.
3. Restaurant leftover, or food waste product that is properly cooked.
4. Forest products including wild vegetables, wild bananas, wild cola-
cassia, yam, forage, grasses that are properly cooked.
5. Alcohol distilling residues from millet, rice, maize, sweet potato, banana
that is properly cooked.

Forms of feeds that should not be given to pigs:

1. Any meat products which include pies, sausage rolls, salami, cheese
rolls, pizza, that is not properly cooked or screened.
2. Any carcass, or part of the carcass of any mammal or bird such as; offal,
feathers, blood, or hide. Pigs feed with on carcasses are also at risk of
contracting diseases that are contagious to humans.
3. Any fish products and bones, excreta from any mammals or birds.
4. Any substance that has come in contact with a prohibited substance via
collection, storage or transport containers, meat trays, etc.
5. Household, commercial, or industrial waste that has not been properly
cooked or screened.
