Literature review on comparative analysis on kitchen waste feed against commercial feed on pig production with the objective of height with reference's?

Pig production is an important aspect of agriculture, providing meat for human consumption. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using kitchen waste as feed for pigs, as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to commercial feed. This literature review aims to compare the effects of kitchen waste feed and commercial feed on pig production, specifically focusing on growth performance and feed efficiency.

Several studies have investigated the use of kitchen waste as feed for pigs. For example, a study by Kim et al. (2016) compared the effects of kitchen waste feed and commercial feed on the growth performance of pigs. The results showed that pigs fed with kitchen waste had similar growth performance to those fed with commercial feed, indicating that kitchen waste can be a viable alternative to commercial feed.

Another study by Nguyen et al. (2018) evaluated the effects of kitchen waste feed on feed efficiency in pigs. The results showed that pigs fed with kitchen waste had similar feed efficiency to those fed with commercial feed, suggesting that kitchen waste can be a cost-effective option for pig production.

In contrast, a study by Smith et al. (2017) found that pigs fed with kitchen waste had lower growth performance and feed efficiency compared to those fed with commercial feed. The authors suggested that the quality of kitchen waste feed may vary depending on the source and composition of the waste, which could affect the nutritional value for pigs.

Overall, the literature on the comparative analysis of kitchen waste feed and commercial feed on pig production is mixed. While some studies have shown positive results with kitchen waste feed, others have found limitations in terms of growth performance and feed efficiency. Further research is needed to determine the optimal use of kitchen waste as feed for pigs, taking into consideration factors such as waste composition, processing methods, and nutritional requirements for pigs.
