ACIAR action in Vietnam | Utilisation of local ingredients in commercial feeds for pigs
This ACIAR project aims to bridge the gap by assessing locally available protein and energy sources as potential components of commercial pig diets. On-farm assessments and other extension activities will share these results with the commercial and smallholder sectors.
Project Overview
Pig production in Vietnam is an important industry for smallholder farmers, who supply 80 per cent of all pigs. The long-term viability of production is threatened by the high cost of feeds, most of which are imported. These high quality feeds are likely to continue to rise in price. The use of cheaper local feedstuffs is a viable solution, but is limited by a lack of knowledge of their suitability for pigs. This project aims to bridge the gap by assessing locally available protein and energy sources as potential components of commercial pig diets. On-farm assessments and other extension activities will share these results with the commercial and smallholder sectors.
