An investigation on the feasibility and economics of feeding certain unconventional feed stuffs available in Kerala was carried out in desi pigs. The results indicated that cost of production in pigs can be considerably reduced by feeding the unconventional feed stuffs studied. The study also throws light into the possibility of developing a complete pig ration by utilising various unconventional feed stuffs available in Kerala.
