Ok, so I know that might sound bad, but.... I am always looking for free or super cheap ways to feed my animals, while still maintaining a healthy diet for them.
Now I am wondering if itis ok to feed human baby formula? I would mix it according to manufaturer specifications.
Since I read that pigs can eat what we eat, and since babies can eat it..... you see where Im going with this?? The reason I am even thinking of this is because of all the 'free' ads I see on CL for baby formula, posted over and over. I think people get it free from the hospital when they deliver a baby (i know I got 2 full size cans, AND the different companies ALL sent me huge samples in the mail, as well as coupons with huge discounts on them).
Of course seeing all that made me wonder if it could be fed to pigs as well. I do have concerns about maybe the iron being to high in the formula? I wonder just how different it is from the powdered stuff the feed companies make for piglets being bottle raised?
Any opinions?
