Pasture tips for pigs during hot season
Pigs do best on alfalfa or red clover pasture for rapid gains, says J W Wuilcher of Ohio State. Alfalfa leads early and late in the year, but close grazing reduces its life. red clover may be best within farm rotation. If alfalfa blooms, graze only when dry to avoid blistering. sweet clover is less preferred. Rape provides pasture if legumes are unavailable and can be sown in spring or summer, yielding pasture in about eight weeks.

The Nebraska College of Agriculture says one hundred pounds of skimmilk is worth half the price of a bushel of corn for hogs. Milk should not be fed to sows until three weeks after farrowing to avoid increased milk flow and pig scours. Use proteins like shorts, tankage and alfalfa hay until full feed is reached, then milk can be added.
