乌干达养猪者匮乏当地产可用性饲料

　　For the typical Ugandan pig producer, getting the right quantity and quality of feed in a cost-effective manner remains a major challenge, writes Brian Kawuma for the CGIAR Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers. Competing needs for land for housing and crop production leave very little or no land for growing animal feed, leading to an over-reliance on purchased feeds. But these feeds are expensive.

   Many Ugandan pig farmers rely on locally purchased feeds for the major part of their pigs’ diets. However, the quality of these commercial feeds is not standardized. The animal feed industry in Uganda is largely unregulated and the country does not have a national policy on feed manufacturing and quality.

　　对于典型的乌干达养猪者来说，以符合成本效益的方式配备合适的数量及质量的饲料，仍然是一个重大挑战，布莱恩·卡乌玛格(Brian Kawuma)为CGIAR财团的国际农业研究中心写道。住房用地和作物生产的需求竞争至留下很少的或无土地种植动物饲料，导致对购买饲料过度的依赖。但这些饲料是很贵的。    

　　许多乌干达养猪者依靠购买的饲料作为猪饮食结构中的重要组成部分。然而，这些商业饲料的质量不是标准化的。动物饲料行业在乌干达基本上不受监管，该国在饲料生产和质量方面没有国家政策。
