Many species of domesticated animals are raised for food. Livestock farming methods have also changed more significantly to produce and satisfy the demand for meat. In an area where the demographic pressure is exponential, the rural population is engaged in raising pigs, 75.6% of whom are determined to opt for stabling when 22.2% despite the conviction, continue to practice semi-stabling in order to cope with the difficulties of access to feed and quality agricultural waste. Nevertheless, 2.2% resort to caretaking in public places and trails at the time when this breeding system carries animal diseases, 31% of which are African swine fever and which decimates entire herds, 24.4% of verminosis and particularly zoonoses. In all the cases, the breeders do not have any standard of premixing yet based on local ingredients in supplementation of the fodder that seems to be the staple food. As a result, work to improve the growth curve of animals in relation to a balanced diet remains poorly known by farmers in rural areas. This can be summed up in three technical, economic and social constraints without which this breeding cannot prosper.

Abstract
Many species of domesticated animals are raised for food. Livestock farming methods have also changed more significantly to produce and satisfy the demand for meat. In an area where the demographic pressure is exponential, the rural population is engaged in raising pigs, 75.6% of whom are determined to opt for stabling when 22.2% despite the conviction, continue to practice semi-stabling in order to cope with the difficulties of access to feed and quality agricultural waste. Nevertheless, 2.2% resort to caretaking in public places and trails at the time when this breeding system carries animal diseases, 31% of which are African swine fever and which decimates entire herds, 24.4% of verminosis and particularly zoonoses. In all the cases, the breeders do not have any standard of premixing yet based on local ingredients in supplementation of the fodder that seems to be the staple food. As a result, work to improve the growth curve of animals in relation to a balanced diet remains poorly known by farmers in rural areas. This can be summed up in three technical, economic and social constraints without which this breeding cannot prosper.

Abstract: (french)
Des nombreuses espèces d’animaux domestiqués sont élevées pour l’alimentation. Les méthodes d’élevage ont également aussi beaucoup changé afin de mieux produire et satisfaire la demande en viande. Dans une zone ou la pression démographique est en exponentiel, la population rurale s’adonne à l’élevage des porcs dont 75,6% sont déterminés à opter pour la stabulation au moment où 22,2% malgré la conviction, continue à pratiquer la semi-stabulation dans le but de faire face aux difficultés d’accès à la provende et aux déchets agricoles de qualité. Néanmoins, 2,2 % recourent au gardiennage dans les lieux publics et sentiers au moment où ce système d’élevage véhicule les maladies animales dont 31 % de peste porcine africaine et qui décime des cheptels entiers, 24,4 % des verminoses et particulièrement des zoonoses. Dans tous les cas, les éleveurs n’ont pas encore un standard de pré mélange à base des ingrédients locaux en supplémentation du fourrage qui semble l’aliment de base. Par conséquent le travail pour améliorer la courbe de croissance des animaux en rapport avec une ration équilibrée reste méconnu par les éleveurs des milieux ruraux. Ceci se résume en trois contraintes d’ordre technique, économique et social sans quoi cet élevage ne peut prospérer.
