Pig Feed: The Right Ration for Every Age Group on the Farm

Pig Feed: What Ends Up in the Trough Counts

The ration decides daily gains, health and feed costs. Here you will find complete feeds, protein sources and fibre components for finishing pigs, piglets and mini pigs, conventional and organic. Bag sizes run from 20 to 30 kilograms and stack well, so you can feed cleanly and to the portion even without large silo equipment on the yard.

Complete feeds for finishing, rearing and mini pigs

For finishing there is the Leimüller pig finishing feed in a 25 kilo bag as well as the Göweil organic pig finishing feed as meal or pellets in a 30 kilo bag. After weaning you reach for the Göweil organic piglet starter, available finely ground and as a rearing feed. Mini pig keepers will find the Agrarzone mini pig feed as pellets in 20 and 25 kilograms, plus the organic version at 20 kilograms and the Leimüller mini pig feed as meal or pelleted. That way every group in the house gets the mix that matches what it needs.

Topping up protein, energy and fibre

If you mix your own or want to lift the basic ration, the building blocks are here. Organic soya cake and organic sunflower cake deliver protein from the press and are easy to work into a farm mix. Auer organic wheat brings energy into the ration. Lucerne pellets are high in crude fibre and GM free, they keep the animals busy at the trough and support steady digestion. The Kerbl Prebiotic Topinpur, based on Jerusalem artichoke, acts as a prebiotic and suits phases with a feed change or stress.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move pigs onto a new feed?
Mix the new feed into the old in rising proportions over seven to ten days. That lets the gut flora get used to the new make-up. Watch the dung, the appetite and the gains as you go, and slow the change down if the animals become unsettled.

How do I store bagged feed properly?
Dry, cool and airy on pallets rather than straight on the floor, so that no moisture draws up from below. Keep rodents out and close opened bags well. Use opened stock up quickly and the smell, structure and feed value all hold.

How does mini pig feed differ from finishing feed?
Finishing feed is built for high daily gains and is therefore very rich in energy. Mini pigs run to fat on it quickly. Their feed is lower in energy and higher in fibre, so the animals fill up without putting on weight they do not need.
