    I have a feeder pig, and would like to finish it the best I can. Has anyone heard of a milk mash mixture for a better quality meat??????????? Thanks Bill

    I found that in addition to apples and other fruits, pigs also really enjoy vanilla wafers. This should be used as treats and for occasional spoiling. They also like ice cream and other sweets, which should be fed sparingly.

    If you need to push your pig so it will make weight at the show, the best thing is milk pellets and goats milk. mix some milk pellets and goats milk with your feed and your pig should eat a lot more, goats milk also expands pig's stomachs. If you need to hold your pig so it doesn't gain any more weight, give it a filler that makes it feel full, but doesn't make your pig gain weight. Rolled corn works good.

    To exercise your pig without having to walk him all the time, you can put a board or a box in his pen so he will have to jump. I've done this to my pigs and it works great!

    Sometimes, when you think your pig is going to go over the weight limit, you can put it on a push and pull diet. A push and pull diet is when you push the pig to eat a lot one week, and the next week you pull back on how much grain you give the pig.

    Olive oil is good for pigs, because it helps their skin condition. If you put olive oil on a pig's skin it does not help, but if you put it in their food it helps their skin from the inside out. I have done it with my pigs and it helps a lot!

    Our pigs are given a gallon of milk each per day. They grow fast with juicy, tender meat you cannot compare. I use a commercial pelleted grower and soak the pellets in warm milk and feed it as a mash.

    If you want to lean your pig out before a fair, cut back on the amount of water and feed the pigs fresh hay on the side. This will tighten the skin and muscles up and make the pig more show-ready.
