Subject: RE: On-farm hog ration



Even at a dozen hogs, unless you have a grinder/mixer to use and have absolutely nothing else to do with your time, just buy bags of complete feed from a local feed mill.        A dozen pigs would only eat roughly 8000 lbs of feed from weaning to 300 lbs.      And to feed them properly, it should be at least 4-5 different steps of feed as they grow, we use 9 steps but you wouldn't have to do that many.


Whatever you do, do not feed them shell corn.    The feed conversion (waste and pigs can't digest whole corn very well) and growth rate on feeder pigs eating shell corn would be awful.
