Chemical Characteristics And Biological Effects Of Unconventional Feed Local Pigs In The Traditional Care System In North Minahasa District North Sulawesi Province

This study aimed to identify the type of feed local pigs is traditionally reared in North Minahasa regency, North Sulawesi Province. This study obtained preliminary data, the ownership of cattle generally range below 5 tails with most of the maintenance system is extensive, semi-intensive and thus less controlled feeding pattern. The study was conducted in 11 villages which are determined by sampling puposive and has obtaineddata that can recommend the type of feed local pigs are typically used in animal husbandry and of variations in feed ingredients used taken 4 (four) types of materials thatuse the top position. The fourth composition of feed ingredients has been analyzed chemically by proximate analysis to determine the quality or content of nutrients. The results of this study can be concluded that rice bran, coconut pulp, wallet and plant tubers taro/taro forest (mixture of stems and leaves) is a type of feed raw materials most commonly used in the maintenance of local pigs in North Minahasa Regency. The second type of feed raw material used is largely determined by the types of crops are cultivated on the location and maintenance.
