Hog Mixture for Pigs Through Weaning
A well balanced grain ration and good legume pasture will keep pigs in fine condition after weaning. The recommended mix uses 80 pounds corn, 60 pounds oats, 12 pounds tankage, 10 pounds soybean oil meal, 8 pounds cottonseed meal, 4 pounds minerals, and alfalfa meal. Oats are phased out as pigs age, replaced by corn, and alfalfa meal is optional with good pasture. Getting pigs started right and sustaining growth is key to success in hog raising.
