Myth vs. Fact: Swine edition 🐷
MYTH: "Pigs will eat anything, so they don't need a real feed plan."
FACT: Pigs are actually one of the more nutritionally precise species to raise. They're monogastric, meaning single-stomach like us, so they can't digest fiber as efficiently as ruminants. They rely heavily on a balanced diet of protein, energy, and key amino acids to grow and perform well.
The "pigs eat everything" reputation comes from their willingness to try anything, not from the fact that anything is actually good for them.
Getting the energy-to-protein ratio right matters a lot, especially during growth phases. 🙌
