This photomontage aims to illustrate the wide variety of items that can go into a pig’s diet and a few items which cannot.  Many items need further processing- but boiling for 30 minutes is a great general start.  Consult your local advisor or Green Warrior if you are concerned about a particular food product or how to process the food to make it suitable for your pigs.
