| Description |
Local feedstuffs for pigs and poultry in Fiji are cheaper than imported commercial feeds, and produce similar or better results. This emerged from a study undertaken by the University of the South Pacific School of Agriculture in collaboration with the Fiji Ministry of Primary Industries. Pigs on local feeds outperformed those on commercial imports; laying birds had food conversion ratios similar to those on imported food -although egg production was slightly lower. It appears to follow, then, that Fiji and therefore other ACP countries where feed costs limit production, could make greater use of local ingredients. CTA is to fund a workshop on the subject in Fiji in September 1988.
