Pig Feed?

[jmcrorie]

Someone gave me pig feed. Can I feed the pig feed to my goats? If not, why?

If it is a commercial hog feed, it is likely a combination of finely ground corn and soybean meal, plus vitamins and minerals. What does the tag say?

Its Producers Pride (Tractor Supply brand) Hog Grower. Says its ruminant meat and bone meal free. First few ingredients are grain products, processed grain by-products, plant protein products... its a very long list. 15% crude protein.

I wish someone would give me some pig feed. That stuff is getting expensive and pigs eat A LOT.

They eat like PIGS

It is against the law to feed ruminant products to a ruminant because of mad cow disease.

Also, I beleive someones goats recently got into some hog feed and they got sick and there was a discussion about poisoning from something in the hog feed, may have been another forum. Does it list individual minerals?

Pig Grower is what I feed my goats. It's all that is available. When I researched the ingredients and percentages, it was everything goats needed except for potassium. Most percents were just a bit lower than ideal. I give each a banana (they are cheap here), sunflower seeds and molasses to make up the shortage.

Maybe you could mix a bit at a time into their regular feed.

Just because I really want to know and are interested, could you post or PM me the nutrition info on your pig (goat) fee?
