How to Fatten Pigs Faster: 7 Proven Tips From a Veteran Hog Farmer

🍔 Tip #1: Feed 'Em Like It's Thanksgiving... Every Day

Problem: Most folks underfeed in the last 30 days---when pigs can pack on the most pounds!

My Fix:

  • Step up portions by 10% after 200 lbs (think second helpings).
  • Add a splash of corn oil (1/4 cup per hog daily)---cheap calories!
  • Pro Tip: Mix in vanilla yogurt (sounds crazy, but pigs go nuts for it).
