Hog Mixture For Growing Pigs In Fine Condition
A balanced grain ration with legume pasture is advised. The feed combines 80 lb corn, 80 lb oats, 12 lb tankage, 10 lb soybean oil meal, 8 lb cottonseed meal, 6 lb alfalfa meal, and 4 lb minerals. Oats are phased out as pigs age, replaced by corn, and alfalfa meal may be omitted if legume pasture is good. Getting pigs started and kept growing is the key to hog-raising success.
