To prevent African swine fever, Taiwan’s government has banned feeding pigs kitchen waste, a measure that directly affects the black-pig industry, which relies heavily on it. Pingtung County’s agriculture director urged the government to develop suitable alternative feed and include ingredients such as meat and bone meal in its disease-prevention planning.
Replacing kitchen waste could increase demand for alternative feed ingredients such as meat and bone meal, while higher feed costs or tighter feed availability could pressure black-pig production and support hog prices.
