[QUOTE="Bullbuyer, post: 205445, member: 2261"] While it is true that hogs eat a little bit of everything - you really need feed designed for the specific needs of the species in question. Hog feed needs to be ground corn (no cob) with a concentrated supplement (several manufacturers make these) - for growing hogs we use a 16% protein mix and 12% for breeding stock. This needs to be ground to about the consistency of cornmeal - maybe one/two screens coarser. You could buy the pre-mixed ration from Purina which is great feed for show animals but a little pricey for commercial applications. [/QUOTE]
