As the scale of pig farming in Taiwan grew, this kitchen waste recycling scheme, with its focus on providing pigswill, gradually fell into disuse. Kitchen wastes with their unreliable quality were gradually replaced by manufactured feed, while after outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease, the Council of Agriculture (COA) was even less inclined to encourage the use of kitchen waste as feed.
