Dry-Extrusion of Wet Garbage for Swine Feeding
Summary
This study will examine dry extrusion of wet garbage to alleviate problems associated with wet garbage feeding in swine. Problems of wet garbage feeding range from disease transmission to humans and swine to cleanliness and sanitation on the farm. It is also laborious and time-consuming. The nutritional analysis of the dry-extruded feed will serve as a basis as to what other local feedstuff and feed supplements are needed to achieve a balanced ration for feeder pigs and breeders.
