-Pigs are fed with the different types of feeds depending on their age.
-Piglets require starter meal from one week to three months,so that they grow well from the start.
-They eat very little but as they grow feed should be increased at an approximate rate of 50 grams per week and by the time they are three months old, each will be requiring about one kg of feed per day.
-Rate of feed increase should be sustained all the way and by four months each pig would require about 2 kg of pig growers feed per day.
-By four and half months a well growing pig requires about 3 kg of feed per day of Pig finisher in preparation for market at between 6 and 7 months on average.
-Clean water should always be available for the pigs.
Other supplement for the pigs may include Sweet potato vines.
