Pig farming is one of the fastest growing livestock enter-prises in Uganda and has become attractive throughout the country.
The National Census report 2011 estimated the National pig herd to be about 3.5 million.

The constraints of traditional housing structures for pig farming in Uganda Inadequate ventilation Inappropriate floor and
spacing Poor sanitation Insecurity
Problem statement
These severely stress the
pigs hence predis-posing them to diseases and unsightly condi-tions. e.g. African swine fever, ecto-parasites, helminths

IMO that have been living in the local area for a long time are best for farming be-cause they are very powerful and effec-tive.
Indigenous micro-organisms (IMO)
Copyright KOICA Uganda Officeⓒ
Two major functions of IMO in farming
Microorganisms de-compose complex
organic com-pounds such as dead bodies of
plants and animals and wastes into
nutrients, making them easily ab-
sorbable.
They can create compounds such as
antibiotic sub-stances, enzymes
and lactic acids that can suppress var-ious diseases and promote healthy soil conditions.

IMO natural pig farming
Natural ventila-tion & Solar posi-tioning
No characteristic pig smell Preventing nuisance fly Reduced the cost on feeds by 20-30% Reduces the risk of disease and ecto-
parasites IMO is an eco-friendly and socially
friendly

Why IMO piggery farming?
IMO has the capacity to hydrolyse cellulose i in saw-dust to edi-ble sugars, which make up 20-30% of the pig’s feed requirements
The decomposed litterfrom the pig sty used as manure. It is more useful in improving soil than chemical.
Heat is concentrated by the translucent sheet and retained in saw-dust.
The use of this tech-nology eliminates smell andprevents pollution No pollu-
tion & eco-friendly

Saemaul Undong: literally “New Community Movement”
A community-based integrated rural development program of the Republic of Korea.
With an emphasis on the three virtues of diligence, self-help and cooperation, it was contributed significantly to transforming the Korean society as a whole and, more specifically, rural communities during the 1970s.
The UN evaluated Saemaul Undong as one of the most effective models for rural development. (United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, 2008)

Farmer’s con-tribution Repayment
The model farmers con-tributed local materials (e.g. poles, bricks, and sawdust) : 10-15% of the total construction cost.
It’s repayment of 50% of the value of the technology inputs in four years that one of the model farmers’ responsibilities.

container cover with mosquito net at 20-220C
After 7 days, the mixture have changed colour
to black but with no smell.
