Скачать или смотреть Fodder for growth: productive pig farming in Eastern Indonesia

Pigs are vital for the economy in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, as they hold cultural significance and are used in ceremonies like weddings, funerals, and births. To support pig farmers in NTT, better access to quality feed, breeds, and biosecurity information is needed.

Improving feeding practices can shorten the time it takes for pigs to mature, boosting productivity for small farmers and making pigs more resistant to diseases.

PRISMA has worked in the pig sector in NTT for 9 years, partnering with businesses to scale up solutions to increase smallholder farmer productivity and modernise agriculture. Initially, only 2 companies distributed pig feed in NTT, but now 12 companies offer affordable options and educate farmers on best practices. PRISMA’s partnerships have also developed breeding farms and animal health services for farmers.

Watch this video to see how the switch to animal feed is transforming the sector.
