Fermented bed flooring systems enhance profitability in smallholder native pig production by Sivilai, Bounlerth, Vongpaserth, Thonglai, Liang, Juan Boo, Bush, Russell

“…There were also no significant differences in growth performance (average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR)), and carcass traits, except that pigs from FB had higher hot carcass weight, dressing percentage and rib and bone weights. Native pigs kept in the FB system had significantly higher total production costs because of the cost of the bedding material, but also had four-fold higher net income return generated from the sale of the fermented floor compost. …”
