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.
