Hello everyone
I've got two pigs about six months old and their slaughter date is in the next couple months. Meanwhile, the cost of commercial feed is getting quite high. I found a source for bulk a organic barley/oat mix for . 20 cents per pound, with an average protein of 14%.
My question is what else should I add to make this more balanced? Would a protein or mineral block be a good idea or will the pigs just eat the whole darn block in one day?
Ideas?
