When I was a teenager (a loooooong time ago in a place far, far away! ) my farmboy father fed our pigs whole oats that were fermented for a few days in a pail of water. I don't know how long it took, but when it started to bubble, it was ready. His father grew oats and potatoes on their farm and that is how they fed the pigs. Boiled potatoes, too, but we ate our pigs before potato season began, so no taters for our pigs. Also, any household scraps and some access to pasture.
Whole oats were available very inexpensively from our neighbors' farms, bring your own barrels!
