The pigs were fed with a combination of commercial, local and leftover feeds using a movable federer. Majority of the piggeries were located at the upland areas, tethered, tied under the tree and the pigpen was constructed at the ground; buried their carcass waste to avoid common environmental issues; and the majority of the pig raisers applied antibiotics to cure diseases in their pigs.
