A pig's diet on a farm is specially calculated.
To give a basic guide, a non-lactating ('dry') sow (female pig) is given food containing:
-meat meal (crushed meat/bones from an abbotoir)
-wheat
-oil (not only is the oil good, but it keeps the feed from being too dusty)
-barley/other grains that may be available locally
-mould prevention powder (to stop the feed from having mould in it)
Another critically important factor is how MUCH food a pig is given:
-dry sows are given two large scoops of food daily, to improve the condition and weight of the animal (like if it has just finished lactating and is a bit skinny)
-pregnant sows are given the same amount, up until a few weeks before they farrow (give birth), to help them in their pregnancy
-they then get about half the amount, because if they have a lot of fat around their mammaries (teats), the fat won't let any milk out when piglets suckle, meaning that the piglets will starve and not receive any colostrums (antibodies) and the sow may be in pain
-the three days before the predicted farrowing date (according to when the pig was mated; 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days later) the feed is cut down by a quarter, and the day of farrowing the sow is not fed
-after farrowing, the sows receive twice as much feed to assist with lactation
