In order to reduce the uCOP for piglet and pork few piggery farmers are practicing low cost feed formulation and feeding. They use cassava mesh as basal energy feed ingredients with crushed maize, rice bran and liquid distillery stillage for Crude protein source. As per the farmers experience there is no difference in their pigs performance.
