Keeping Sows On Pasture or Hay For Pig Rearing
Swine specialists advise bred sows or gilts on good pasture or high quality hay such as lespedera, soy bean, or alfalfa. Feed just enough grain to maintain good flesh with a constant mineral mix. Begin protein supplement 30 days before farrowing, then allow sows full grain and minerals after 10 days old pig age. Hand feed about a pound of protein per sow daily. Provide a creep with shelled corn. Wean at 8 weeks on pasture and hand feed a large ear of corn per pig daily. Maintain dry mineral access and continue protein supplement until pigs reach ~75 pounds.
