“…Both sources of feed are obtained from restaurant waste, vegetable waste, banana peels, cassava, tofu dregs, fish market waste and kitchen. The results of this study are in accordance with the results obtained by Awom (2010), Yafur (2008) and Iyai (2008) in their studies. In this system of rearing, the pigs scavenge to feed in the morning in gardens or in areas where it is possible to get food, then in the afternoon, the pigs return to the owner's pens.…”

“…In addition, there are also farmers who provide feed in the morning before the pigs scavenge for food far from the vicinity of the farmers. This is in accordance with the research of Iyai (2008) and Warastuti (2001) who reported that the feed obtained for pigs is mainly from gardens. Some breeders provide protein source feed that comes from industrial waste (tofu dregs) because they are easily obtained in the villages where the farmers keep the pigs.…”

“…Using different agro-ecological zones, the knowledge and experience of Papuan farmers are vital to understanding the success of livestock production systems in Papua. Iyai (2008), Iyai and Yaku (2015) classified pig farming systems into four categories. Other important Papuan livelihoods are crop farming, fishing and hunting.…”

Pigs are livestock that has a significant meaning for the local Papuan community. Pig rearing is done traditionally from generation to generation without providing technical input to increase productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to study the profile of pig farms that determine the production of pigs. This research was conducted in the Manokwari district. A semi-structured questionnaire was employed for data collection and supported by key informant group discussions. Respondents were sampled using purposive random sampling under predetermined criteria and then randomized. The percentage of each variable observed was done to know pig farming in Manokwari. The results of the analysis showed that the highest percentage of pig farmers as follows age over 50 years old (56%); the education of farmers is high school (44%); off-farm income came from the private sector (40%); pig ownership dominated by the female for all level (starter, grower and finisher). Farmers fed the pigs with a mixture of raw materials dominated by vegetables and tofu dregs.

Abstract.A field intervention and 17 months' monitoring of pig herd dynamics in seven villages in Northern Laos was conducted. The collected data show for the first time herd dynamics based on quantitative data. They show that dynamics follow a regular cyclic pattern based on the general farm management approach applied by farmers, which lacks a specific pig management focus. Interventions aimed at improving animal management and nutrition were far less successful than envisioned but revealed major conflicts in perception between implementers and farmers. Farmers did not shift their focus to pig production as major income-generating activity as envisioned by implementers. Nevertheless, despite only partially improved systems, farrowing and animal growth rates were increased among committed farmers, whereas death rates have decreased. However, our quantitative data show a significant number of constraints reflected in the way how animals enter, pass through and leave smallholder production systems. Disease and disease prevention, as well as animal feeding are the two dominant hindrances to improved production. Both these obstacles are rather related to a lack of focus on animal production and therefore animal requirements than to an inherent lack of understanding. To increase interest though, poor income opportunities due to lacking market opportunities will have to be tackled. However, even with an incomplete transition from a traditional to an improved system, overall production increased by 600% in committed farmers with an about equivalent increase in income from this activity, showing that current systems leave massive scope for improvement if perceptions and other external obstacles such as access to inputs and markets can be overcome.
