Healthy Pigs Start with Healthy Nutrition
One of the biggest mistakes in pig farming is relying almost entirely on cassava peels. While cassava peels can provide energy, they do not offer the balanced nutrition pigs need for strong growth, good immunity, and overall health.
On our farm, we feed our pigs a diverse diet of fresh herbs, tree leaves, soft grasses, and shredded plantain trunks. This natural feeding approach helps strengthen their immune system and reduces the need for frequent medications.
Some of the plants we feed include:
- Moringa leaves
- Soft grasses such as Guinea grass, Elephant (Napier) grass, Carpet grass, and Brachiaria grass
- Mango leaves
- Papaya leaves
- Neem leaves
- Bitter leaf
- Scent leaves (African basil)
- Shredded plantain trunks
These plants provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre, and beneficial plant compounds that support digestion, improve gut health, and enhance the pigs' natural resistance to diseases.
Our philosophy is simple: we don't wait for our pigs to get sick before taking actionβwe build their immune system every day through proper nutrition.
Healthy nutrition leads to healthier pigs, lower veterinary costs, improved productivity, and better-quality pork.
What you feed your animals today determines the health and profitability of your farm tomorrow.
Food is the first medicine. Build your livestock's immunity through proper nutrition, not just medication.
