It is a myth that pigs do not eat hay or, as a well-known jingle claims, they they do not know how to eat hay. Pigs eat hay fairly regularly and digest it thoroughly. Pigs raised on farms are not "mostly fed grain and protein supplements" for two primary reasons: 1) pigs will pasture forage like horses and cows; and, 2) grain and protein supplements are expensive. Pigs do not digest hay like cows and deer. Neither do horses. However, pigs graze like cows and horses, eating hay, grass, alfalfa, clover, etc. On farms during winters, pigs are regularly fed hay fairly exclusively. Because hay has a relatively low caloric value, pigs' manure in the winters is fairly "clean" -- high in cellulose and low in "dirty" waste.
pigs eat just about anything they will eat a dead pig if it is not removed from the pen
Pigs normally do not eat pigs. It is a sign of desperation if one does do that. Otherwise, wild cats, wild dogs and scavengers will eat pigs.if pigs are hungry they will eat . Also mother sows sometimes eat their piglets or sit on them and kill them
"They eat calves, lambs, and pigs.." "They eat calves, lambs, and pigs.."
Pigs get big because they are pigs so they eat alot ;)
the gas produced from farm manure is biogas methane
All pigs, wild or domestic, use their snouts to dig into the soil for edible roots. Some farmers will keep pigs on a field for a few months to allow the pigs time to uproot and eat weed roots, and to loosen the soil, and manure the ground. Then they may move the pigs to another field.
No because they would be manure
Pigs are domesticated animals raised primarily for the purpose of their flesh or pork meat. Their manure are also used as organic fertilizer in farms and fishpond. Biogas uses pig's manure in order to produce biofuel.
yes
They will peck at manure. Manure attracts bugs and bugs is good eating. The hens are not actually eating the fecal matter, they are eating the insects that are eating the manure.
