Hydroponic Fodder Pigs Need Per Day

The other question is on pigs how should we feed our pigs and the best ratio for pigs is 50% commercial feeds in our country we have a starter meal then we have sow and weaner then we have finisher you know basically we have we have even growers' we have different commercial feeds and these are basically these are basically milled flour so the 50% will be commercial feeds and then 50% should be hydroponic fodder this is the best feeding schedule and we recommend this on our website or the Downloads tab you can get our results say if you will feed 70% commercial feed and 30% of this or 100% fodder which we have said is not practical so this is the best feed program now we would like to note something when you're feeding your pigs with wet matter it is very important for you to know that the mathematics changes because of the food or the feed conversion of pigs the feed conversion of pigs is very high so the total feed per pig per day should be 3 kilos ok so when we say 50% commercial feed it means that it will be our our dry matter commercial feeds this is like the dry matter in this case so 50% of 3 kgs this is 1.5 kilos and then when it comes to hydroponic fodder please remember that hydroponic fodder is wet matter and this also what I want to mention applies also to sweet sweet potato silage when feeding sweet potato silage or hydroponic fodder it should be 2 times so in this case we should be feeding 1.5 kgs of hydroponic fodder but remember because of the feed conversion rate of pigs we need to account for the lost energy lost when you know growing the fodder, when germinating the seeds so basically what we do is the kilos that are supposed to be fed as 50% we multiply by 2 and we get 3 kgs so basically this now will not be 1.5 kg this will be 3 kgs of hydroponic fodder this will still help you cut your feeding costs by 40% so basically you feed dry matter or commercial feeds as 1.5 kgs and 3 kgs of hydroponic fodder this is for mature pigs if you need more information on the different stages and the amount of feed per Pig per day you can get them free of charge on our downloads tab yeah on our website so that is all about the PIGS
