Pig production provides the means by which
rapid transformation of animal protein
consumption can be achieved in Ghana.
Although pigs are frequently maligned by some
social and religious groups in Ghana, they have
several good attributes including high prolificacy,
high fecundity, short generation interval, early
maturity, high feed conversion efficiency and a
modest requirement with respect to housing and
equipment [1]. Despite these advantages of pig
production, high cost of feed increases the price
of pork beyond the reach of the average
Ghanaian. The urgent need to improving
production efficiency, through lower production
costs and supply of a product that meets
consumers' expectations are key elements
required for a profitable and viable pig production
enterprise [2]. Lowering the feed cost demands
the use of non-conventional feedstuffs that are
readily available with good nutrient composition
for use in pigs’ diets
