Hello all,
I have come up with an affordable swine feed mix for our 3 Duroc/Berkshire feeder pigs, and the nutrient calculations seem ok to me without a premix. It is a sorghum, oats, wheat, sunflower meal, rice protein, and cracked peas mix. They also get some table scraps but don't have pasture. How important is a hog mineral? Should I at least add salt or will they be fine without it?
Thanks!
When I run the numbers I get:
14.14% protein
3.17% fat
5.28% fiber
1.07% lysine
0.70% phosphorus
