The livestock sector in Malaysia faces unique challenges due to high humidity and equatorial temperatures, making ventilation and hygiene critical. There is a growing shift from traditional open-shed farming to climate-controlled environments, where the implementation of a farrowing house for pigs becomes essential to reduce piglet mortality and manage heat stress.
Currently, many medium-scale farms are upgrading their feed processing capabilities to reduce reliance on expensive imported premixes. The adoption of the animal feed cutter has enabled farmers to utilize local agricultural by-products, such as palm kernel cake and corn husks, more efficiently, lowering overall operational costs.
Furthermore, the poultry and rabbit sectors are seeing a surge in vertical farming techniques. To combat limited land availability in regions like Selangor and Johor, the use of multi level rabbit cage systems is becoming a standard for commercial breeders seeking to optimize space without compromising animal health.
