By Darren Zimmerman, D.V.M.

There has been a steady increase in the number of producers choosing to pasture pigs. The reasons can vary: cost of feed savings, aid in tilling soil, spreading manure. When considering if pasturing pigs is right for your operation, there are many things to consider, with one of the most important being how to maintain proper nutrition for the animal.

There has been extensive research on swine nutrition, and nearly all recommendations are for a complete diet. A complete diet is one that is mixed evenly and proportional in all feedings to all desired ingredients to meet the needs of the specific intended animal. This includes calories, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients. Swine in different stages of life have different needs.
