SUMMARY
The pigs’ diet can be diverse, based on feed, kitchen waste, and crops’waste, which can be seen as an opportunity ifknown how to use this alternative feeding mechanism for this specie. In Ecuador various crops are produced and theirwaste can be used in pigs feeding, not as a unique source of nutrition but as a complementary diet. In this researchdone in Nanegal, in the NorthWest of Pichincha, endemic crops were used such as banana (Musa paradisiaca), whitecarrots (Arracacia xanthorrhiza), and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). An adaptation period is needed for the animals tobe fed with crop’s waste and they can reach superior consumption levels compared to animals only nurtured withfeed, weight gains superior to 0,9 kgs per day, nutrition conversions of 3,4 and performance to the canal of 78% anda dorsal fat density of 25mm.
