How much does pig food cost?

Answer 1

It depends on whether you are feeding it to butcher, breading sow, or bore. If you are feeding the pig to butcher you want to feed it protein pellets. Which cost at present 14.00 pr 100 lbs. They will eat approx. 2 gal per day.

If you are raising a breading pig you don't want them to get fat so 1 gal per day would be sufficient.

Here in Washington state it is $14 per 50# or all breed @ just under $10 per 50# which is 2% less protein as of today 5/6/2011 as I just bought both an hour or two ago. I do agree with the amounts he says to feed tho. I personally also feed my pigs Boiled Eggs about a half dozen 2 times a day with their feed and I wet it down and soak up to a paste my pigs seem to like it better that way On cold days or colder mornings I will use hot water on a hot day i use cold water they love it! ope this answers your Question! Good Luck !! I personally love to farm ! I believe everyone that has the property to do so Should as well Much better tasting Cheaper and small farm can supply at least 3 large Families with good quality Meats and eggs Produce whatever but sure would help world hunger! Quit eating FEEDLOT Meats And EGGS! Good Luck America!!

Answer 2

It all depends on how big and how fast you want your pig to grow. There are many differnent things you can feed the pig as well. The higher the protein, the more you feed your pig (unlimted) your pig can grow as fast as 20lbs a week. If this is a full grown 600 lb pig, and you are using it for breeding, I would say feed it no more then 6 lbs twice a day to keep it at ideal weight.

If you need more specific info, just let me know!
