Abstract: High cost of traditional grains has increased the price of commercial supply of pig feed. As a result of higher feed prices, producers’ profits and final customer prices have been affected. On the other hand, for decades, a declining trend in farming activities has affected the region and its ability to generate revenue and to remain younger generations, who are migrating to big cities in search of employment. Yuke an alternative pig feed, suggest the use from cassava’ crops to replace grain based feed practices. Some decades ago, the use of cassava as food in the pig sector was evaluated, generating satisfactory results. Betting on alternative food will benefit the pig farming sector
