A huge part of the unique taste of our pigs has to do with the food they get. Hence we are committed that we only feed our pigs with the best nutrition sources to preserve pigs with exceptional flavour and quality, for a breed that is close to extinction. This heritage breed is fed 3 times a day with a mix of following vegetarian sources:
- Papaya (home grown, from our 450 trees) —> rich in Vitamin C and enzymes good for stomach
- Japanese Pumpkin (home grown) —> anti-oxidant beta-carotene, Vitamin A and fiber + double function as natural shading on the free range field
- Grated coconut fiber —> providing protein, phosphorus for proper bone growth
- Corn (home grown/organic) & Wheat —> processed into flour, as good carbohydrate source
- Barley (from beer production) —> carbohydrate & amazing protein source
- Whey (from cheese produciton) —> amazing protein and probiotics for muscle development
- Others —> seasonal fruits & vegetables from nearby farms & markets (cleaned from chemical residue)
- Azolla (home grown) —> crude protein content of 17-28%, amino acids, vitamins and trace minerals + double function for neutralising our grey water
- Black Soldier Fly Larvae (home grown) —> contain about 35-50% protein and 20-25% fat and are a good source of calcium and phosphorus + double function as disposal of our pig manure
- Fishmeal (from selected suppliers in Bali) — > especially focusing on the mothers that milk feed the sucklings
- Duck eggs —> additional protein for the hogs and pregnant pigs
Our pigs enjoy an organic diet, designed by an animal nutritionist to ensure we can raise them to perfection.
