Pig farming has great potential for breeding in the city of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. The use of pigs as social livestock has led many people to raise pigs. In practice, farmers still rely on traditional habits inherited from their parents and experiences gained from the environment to raise pigs. Efforts are needed to address this. The adoption of innovations is a possible way to improve the productivity of the business, which will have an impact on its progress.
