Swine rations: cost reduction in production

Published: April 20, 2010
By: María Giovanardi
Dear Users, This is an interesting forum from our Spanish community, generated by Eduardo Dario Welchen from Paraguay: Good morning, My query is based on: The highest number regarding swine rations is the inclusion of maize, as it provides a lot of energy (50 to 60 of total production / tons), pellet soy protein represents the vast majority ( 40 to 30 of total production), nucleus and additives in a smaller volume and fiber in also an interesting volume The higher cost are the first two…How can I substitute them within my rations to achieve the same results (energy and crude protein) ? Is there a way of reducing them?

The best option is to look for alternative energy and protein sources available in the area and reformulate your diets for good results.Cheap sources available include cassava root chips or tapioca(for energy source) mixed with seed cakes (Good protein sources). Depending on availability these are cheap sources compare to maize nad soya bean meals.
