ABSTRACT
Pigs are one of the most important animals for smallholders in Eastern Samar,
particularly in areas where shifting cultivation is practiced. The major constraint faced by the
Native pig raisers include high cost of feed (60-70%), ease of procurement, and nutrient
composition, resulting reduced fed for native pigs. Native pigs survive with the local feed
sources and simple management practices. This study was made to determine the
proximate analyses of three pelleted diets intended for the growth performance of weanlings
native pig and to find ways how to come up with a relatively low inputs needed for growth.
The formulation of the feeds was done by using indigenous feedstuff commonly fed to pigs
in municipalities of Eastern Samar. The proximate analyses indices were: (a) crude protein,
(b) crude fat, and (c) ash. Result of the study revealed that Diet I had the highest proportion
of crude protein, crude fat and ash. Only Diet II was proximally close in ash (12.59). Least
was in Diet III 11.19% crude protein and 11.61% ash. The use of Tricanthera, flying fish by-
product, and other identified locally available feedstuff are potentially feasible to reduce cost

I. INTRODUCTION
Preparing quality diets is a complex process that involves several important factors.
These factors include availability of raw feed material, ease of procurement, high production
cost, and nutrient composition. Careful attention must be accorded the feed nutritional
content for native animal diets. Different phases of production require knowledge of energy
values and nutrient composition to achieve high production results as well as good animal
health and vigor. Limited availability of protein concentrate increases overall feed costs. The
cost of feeds in organic pig and poultry production is approximately 70 to 80% of total
gather exact nutritional data. Pig production in the tropics is constrained by seasonal feed
deficits, high feed cost, erratic supply of feed ingredients and competition between humans
and pigs for ingredients used in livestock feeds (Makkan 1993; D’Mello, 1995). A
According to Food and Agriculture (FAO) of the United Nations the demand for animal
protein for human nutrition in the developing world is still rising, especially for pork and
poultry products. There is an opportunity for smallholders with livestock, who make up
almost 20% of the world population (McDermott et al., 2010), to increase household incomes
and improve their livelihood by connecting with the livestock value chain. Smallholders often
lack access to good-quality feed with sufficient energy content and the balanced amino-acid
Eastern Visayas, including Eastern Samar is primarily an agricultural region with rice,
corn, coconut, sugarcane, cassava, and banana as its major crops. Primary sources of
revenue are manufacturing, wholesale, retail trade, and services. These above-named
agricultural crops are available throughout the year. Eastern Samar faces the Pacific Ocean
directly; this has an effect on its unique climate. It receives heavy rainfall throughout the year
and is sometimes visited by typhoons. It has no pronounced dry season; this has bearing on
Study was conducted to attain the following objectives; (a) formulate feeds using
identified abundant agricultural crops to their maxima; (b) determine which among the
formulate feeds has the highest protein content; (c) determine which among of the protein
sources contributes more on crude protein, crude fat, and ash in the mixture.
Livestock production in many countries had its boom reflected in the high prices of
the finished feeds. Since the feed crisis of 1983, efforts have been made to seek alternative
energy sources and some other conventional feed ingredients. These alternative energy
sources must be locally available, cheap and be able to replace a certain portion (Tegbe et
al., 1995). Ideally, feeds should be derived from a crop that is part of an environmentally-
sustainable farming system, which optimizes biomass productivity per unit of solar energy,
minimizes inputs of agro-chemicals, and enhances soil fertility and biodiversity (FAO 1996).
The profitability of piggery is very sensitive to the price of feeds used, the efficiency
of the pig genotype to convert feed into meat, and the price of the market pigs at any

performance of native pig utilizing indigenous feedstuff in Eastern Samar
The Philippine livestock sector is beset with problems of high costs and insufficient
supply of quality feed ingredients (PCAARRD, 2000). Feed constitutes more than 80% of the
total cost of livestock production. It is important therefore that much attention be given to
feed and the methods by which it could be produced by utilizing an indigenous feedstuff.
This research provide baseline data on the nutrient content of indigenous feedstuffs
available in the area, innovate feed material combinations, and assess the growth
The study primarily focuses on the nutrient content of indigenous feedstuffs locally
combinations. The target of this study is to formulate feed, determined its proximate
analysis, and produce a low-cost feed without sacrificing the health and growth of the
animals.

Trichantera gigantea has a crude protein content of the leaves varies from 15 to 22%
(Table 1) and apparently most of this is true protein. The calcium content has been found to
be particularly high compared to the other fodder tress (Rosales et al. 1987). This can
drink and suggest a good potential for feeding lactating animals. According to Dr. Etis, this
plant adapts well in local tropical conditions and grows well easily between plantation crops
producing 12 tons of dry matter per hectare per year. It can grow up to three meter-high, but
may be pruned for ease of harvesting and good herbage yield. The plant has been known as
a good feed source for swine. In fact, at the Southern Mindanao Integrated Agricultural
techno guide was developed that teaches swine raisers to use Trichantera as feed
supplement. Its young leaves are offered fresh to pigs replacing about 20-30 % of its
required commercial diet. It can also be processed into leaf meal and use as ingredients in
mash. According to SMIARC, six kilograms of fresh leaves consumed by pigs per day is
equivalent to one kilogram of mixed feeds saved. According to the study of Nguyen Thi

Rice bran is a by-product of rice grain production consisting primarily of the outer
layers of the grain (Campabadal et al, 1976) The bran is remove during the process of
milling to produce white rice for human consumption (Saunders, 1990). It usually includes
the pericarp, seed coat and aleurone, as well as most of the germ (Kaufmann et al, 1995).
Rice bran is regarded as an energy source which can be used to supply the energy
requirements for animals especially pigs (Mc Donald et al., 2002). Rice bran consumption
has shown to be successful in reducing cholesterol level in pig (Roy and Lundy, 2005). Rice
bran is also excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Rice bran has highly available
energy, and is generally economical. It is usually used in swine diets because it is widely
grown in the East and Southeast of Asia. There are 40 to 45 million tonnes of rice bran
produced annually (David, 1994). According to Dr. Loannis Mavromichalis, rice is grown
mainly for human consumption and as a result its use in pig diets is rather limited. However,
when good quality rice flour (no hulls) is available, performance can be equal or even better
when compared to the performance of maize-fed pigs. Brown rice, rice bran, and rice hulls
are not recommended for young pigs, but they can be used for older pigs up to covering their
requirements for crude fibre (about 3-5% crude fibre in the final diet for most pig formulas). It
is a good source of protein, fat, minerals and vitamin (B1). For pigs, rice bran Class 1 should
be used because of its higher protein, fat and low fibre content (Dai Peters et.al).
Banana trees are widely planted in the Philippines. Most parts of banana trees are
used as human food (banana fruits, flowers, and even banana root). In some areas of
Vietnam, banana stems are also used as feed for pigs and poultry. Banana stem contains a
lot of water (93.4%) and has rather low nutritive value (6.5% CP and 1.5% lipids on DM
basis, table 1) according to Bui Quang Tuan and Nguyen Van Hai 2004. Calles et al. (1970)
studied the performance of growing/finishing pigs fed free-choice ripe bananas with a
significantly improved (660 vs. 770 g) when the 30% supplement was used, was assumed to
be the effect of the additional intake of energy. It was suggested that the significant increase
in the daily consumption of bananas during the first two to three weeks of the experimental
period might have been associated, not only with the adaptation to a new feed, but also to
the development of a larger stomach capacity. Findings from the study by Le Dividich and
Canope (1975) suggest that ensiled green bananas could successfully serve as a basic feed
for gestating sows but not for lactating sows, even if the silage was generously
Results in the study of Du Ponte et.al (2016) and Tuan et al. (2004) and Foulkes et
al. (1977) showed that banana stalks contain a lot of water (93.4%) and have low nutritional
value; thus, banana foliage cannot meet animal requirements alone and must be
supplemented with nitrogen and energy, or be part of a diet containing other feeds and
Press cake or Sapal contains a protein of higher biological value than that of coconut
meal because it is not heat processed and it has more vitamins (Gohl, 1982; Grimwood et
al, 1976). Coconut flesh is waste product abounding in the Philippines, is also a potential
source of fiber, it may help meet the requirements for fiber intake. Initial studies indicate
that the fiber content of coconut and its conversion into short-chain fatty acids in the intestine

According to Cocjin, the development of the breast and wings of the broilers were improved
at higher levels of coconut meat (press cake) supplementation. Returns per broiler raised on
rations with fresh coconut meat increased with increasing level of coconut meat in the ration.
It is advisable to, however to start feeding the fresh mature coconut meat to broiler at the
areas where many people are afflicted with under nutrition, making it a potentially valuable
food source for developing countries. Cassava roots are a good source of energy while the
leaves provide protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, cassava roots and leaves are
deficient in sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) and some nutrients are
not optimally distributed within the plant. Cassava also contains anti nutrients that can have
either positive or adverse effects on health depending upon the amount ingested
(Montagnac et.al, 2009). The composition of cassava depends on the specific tissue (root or
leaf) and on several factors, such as geographic location, variety, age of the plant, and
environmental conditions. The roots and leaves, which constitute 50% and 60% of the
mature cassava plant, respectively, are the nutritionally valuable parts of cassava (Tewe and
Lutaladio, 2004). Raw cassava, can supply the major source of energy for growing/finishing
pigs. Pigs fed in ad libitum, on a ration of chopped raw cassava roots and a protein

supplement, growing/finishing pigs gained weight less rapidly but as efficiently as those fed a
maize-soya bean meal ration. The consumption of chopped fresh cassava roots by
growing/finishing pigs varies according to the protein content of the supplement. The
voluntary daily intake of cassava roots was reported to increase throughout the
growing/finishing period when the amount of protein supplement increased (Job et al., 1975,
cited by Maner et al., 1977). Trials have shown that fresh cassava, of low cyanide content
and properly supplemented with a source of protein, minerals and vitamins, can be used as
a major source of energy throughout the entire swine life cycle. However, if they are fed
bitter roots, performance will suffer: consumption will decrease and they will exhibit a lower
average daily gain, and in some cases even lose weight (Gomez et al., 1976).

this structural variegation plays an unknown advantageous role (Tsukaya et al., 2004).

Protein Requirements
In swine nutrition, a good quality protein is one that provides the ten essential amino
acids required for the normal body function in the amounts and proportions necessary for the
particular need of the pig (Adesehinwa et al, 1995). Traditionally, swine diets are formulated
on the basis of crude protein. Amino acids are critical nutrients required by all classes of
swine for the physiological processes of maintenance, growth, gestation and lactation
(Fashina, 1991). Hence protein levels are established for the various weight classes of pigs
so that the most limiting amino acid (lysine) will be present in adequate amounts
Amino acids are the chemical building blocks of protein (meat) and at least 20
different types occur in nature. A pig needs only eight or nine of these in its diet- the
‘essential’ amino acids. Table 2, shows the ideal balance of amino acids needed in a diet to
provide for maintenance (adults sows and boars) and protein deposition (growing pigs).

ingredients.
III. METHODOLOGY
Feed Formulation
The experimental diets were prepared at Eastern Samar State University (ESSU)
Food Laboratory Borongan City, Eastern Samar. The diets were with varied proportions of
two different protein sources fishmeal and plant-based source. Feed proximate composition
analyses were carried out on three samples comprised of 3 treatments in order to compare
the proximate composition of formulated feeds and effects on the growth performance in the
The study used the Pearson’s square method and Linear Programming. Identified
abundant feedstuffs were collected within the locality. Samples collected were placed in
clean plastic bags. Feedstuffs were dried prepared in a convection oven drying
(Buckmaster, 2005).
Dry ground ingredients in different ratios were mixed and homogenized; the
processing of the feeds followed the work of SEAFDEC/AQD (Millamena et al., 2002). All
feeds (300g/feed samples) were packed in a plastic Ziploc and sent to Southeast Asian
method as follows; crude protein (AOAC method 964.13 using Kjeltec 8400, Factor used
6.25), crude fat (AOAC method 920.23 using Soxtec 2055), and ash (AOAC method
942.05). These formulations, the feed will be tested in vivo for a week among the test pigs in

Proximate Analysis
All formulated feeds (300g/feed samples) were packed in a Ziploc plastic container and
(SEAFDEC-AQD) Tigbauan, Iloilo. These were analyzed for crude protein, crude fat, and
ash. The three diets from plant and animal protein sources subjected to proximate analyses
were: Diet I – 50% Tricanthera + 50% flying fish by-product (FB); Diet II- 65% Tricanthera +
35% FB; and 35% Tricanthera + 65% FB. Table 4 shows the combination of the raw
Table 4. Amount of raw materials in the trial potential for native pig feeding
Table 5 shows that Diet I had the highest proportion of crude protein, crude fat and
ash. Only Diet II was proximally close in ash (12.59). Least was in Diet III 11.19% crude
Both protein sources, Tricanthera and flying fish by-product contribute more crude
protein, crude fat, and ash in the mixture. A study of Heo et al., 2008 on long-term feeding of
low protein (LP) diets for weanling piglets showed that a reduction of crude protein (CP)
levels was made from 24.3% to 17.3% when supplemented with essential amino-acids
(EAA) to conform to an ideal amino acid (AA) pattern. Consequently this reduce the plasma
urea nitrogen (PUN) and NH3-N, result in lower post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) of weanling
piglets over without compromising production. Two other studies also showed a similar trend
in the incidence of PWD when feeding LP diets (not less than 17%) to weanling piglets
(Lordelo et al., 2008; Bhandari e. al., 2010). The present study implies that the different
diets tested could be used as feeds for native pig weanlings, provided that EAA are added in
the diet.
Most studies indicate that a reduction of dietary crude protein (CP) 20 g/kg could
effectively decrease nitrogen emissions. Every 10 g/kg reduction of dietary CP can decrease
ammonia emission from feces and urine by 8% to 10% (Nyachoti et al., 2006; Aarnick et al.,
2007). In addition, lower dietary CP level resulted in reduced water intake, along with

(TII) 65% Tricanthera + 35% FB, (TIII) 35% Tricanthera + 65% FB. Results revealed that
Treatment I had the highest crude protein 17.99% and 12.60% ash followed by Treatment II
(12.75%) and 12.59% ash, and least was in Treatment III 11.19% crude protein and 11.61%
ash.
Identified abundant feedstuffs were collected within the locality. All formulated feeds
(300g/feed samples) were packed in a plastic Ziploc and sent to Southeast Asian Fisheries
analyzed for crude protein (AOAC method 964.13 using Kjeltec 8400, Factor used: 6.25),
crude fat (AOAC method 920.23 using Soxtec 2055), and ash (AOAC method 942.05).
Conclusions
1. Diet I had the highest proportion of crude protein, crude fat and ash. Only Diet II
was proximally close in ash (12.59). Least was in Diet III 11.19% crude protein
2. Based on the result both protein sources, Tricanthera and flying fish by-product
contributes more on crude protein, crude fat, and ash in the mixture. Present
study implies that the different diets tested could be used as feeds for native pig
3. The use of Tricanthera, flying fish by-product and other identified locally available
Recommendations
Based on the conclusions derived in the study, the following recommendations are
made:
1. Future studies should also address the issues associated with decreased utilization
of protein by native swine and determine the minimum level or what point crude
2. Nutritionally enhanced crops have the potential to benefit animal health, growth and
performance, to reduce feed costs, to make animal protein more affordable, and to
