Ghanaian Livestock Farmers Boosted by Training on Environment-friendly Alternative Feed Technology

Ghanaian Livestock Farmers Boosted by Training on Environment-friendly Alternative Feed Technology

The IITA–CGIAR-led BSF for Bio Circular Economy and Environmental Sustainability (BBEST) project, in partnership with the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI), has trained selected poultry, pig, and fish farmers on the Black soldier fly (BSF) technology in Accra, Ghana.

As part of activities to build capacity and BSF technology know-how of youth agripreneurs and other stakeholders, the project has started training farmers on the BSF feed production for poultry, fish, and pig to give them the necessary skills to start their own feed production.

The training was held from 17 to 21 April after the BSF decentralized units were installed.

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
