Material Type: printed text Authors: Kshatri, B.B., Author ; English, Peter R., Author ; Robertson J.F., Author ; Burnett G. Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 113-118 p. Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: The climatic environment provided for pigs in many small holding situations in Nepal is a primary factor which contributes to efficiency in terms of high piglet mortality, slow piglet growth and inefficient use of food and other resources. Climatic penalties have been quantified associated with damp floors / resting areas, draughty conditions, low temperature, housing of  pig singly and low intakes of digestible  / metavbolizable  energy. There  is  an  urgent  need  to  improve  housing  in  terms  of  rain proofing of roof  and  walls,  improved insulation value of floor, roof and walls, reduction of draughts, housing pigs in groups rather than singly and increasing digestible energy intake. On the basis of the climatic penalties identified and the practical approaches for minimising these penalties, the concept of an improved building / management system for smallholders is proposed This is designed to improve the efficiency of utilization of basic resources such as feed, labour and housing materials using appropriate technologies and locally available materials and expertise.
