Our pigs are not withheld food to stay small ( we only have one "small" pig at this time, the others are
60lbs) if anything they are fed too much.
We feed:
* Fresh veggies & fruits ( in limited portions as fruits have sugar)
* Mazuri Mini pig feed ( active adult & youth depending on pig) ( Any feed
mill that carries Purina products will be able to order this for you, you do not have to purchase from the internet !! )
* Small scoop of a specially milled sweet feed mix with mainly oats
* Day old bread
* Occasional dog treats
We do NOT feed our pigs pig feed( it is made for COMMERCIAL hogs, not potbelly pigs!!) and we
also do not feed dog feed.
Feeding Guideline
( I honestly dont follow this, I actually feed MORE than what is suggested )
6 months to adult approximately 2 Cups of maintenance ration per day
Lactating Gilts
and nursing females can be fed free choice, or follow this guideline:
2 C/day for the sow plus 1 cup for each
suckling piglet.
Example: Sow with 5 piglets would receive 7 C/day.
Boars
Feed according to need, from 2 C to 8 C/day depending on level of activity/condition
