Title: feeding leafy vegetables Post by: cpmanzano on October 03, 2008, 08:19:40 PM hello sir!
I have 5months old pigs (2). The caretaker said they eat well but they only weighed 35 pounds. What do you think is the problem? Are leafy vegetables good for pigs? they are given much of it. Should we increase the feeds. Title: Re: feeding leafy vegetables Post by: doncorleone on October 04, 2008, 08:27:38 AM hello sir! I have 5months old pigs (2).

Try to give commercial feeds and try to weigh it again after a month and see the difference, by the way what is the breed of your pigs?

A 5 months old animal would eat around 200-250 kgs of commercial feeds from piglet to fattening. Also, breed is a factor. There are some breed that does not grow well. |
