Pig Feeds
Hi,
I hope you can help me on what the types should I feeds and the process of preparation from birthing until to the period of selling it?
Thanks,

The library gives feed types and a rough timeline, not a week-by-week plan.
- Ferment purchased feed first. The microbes make heat and colonize the food. (Office Hours Ep. 2, 11:01)
- Add green grass and cut the purchased feed. Cho counts 1 kg of green grass as 150 g of assorted feed. (Cho, Theory, p. 178)
- Cho's organic farms also feed grass ferment, IMO mold-leaf fodder, lactic ferments and fermented plant juice. (Cho, Theory, p. 176)
- Drake feeds pigs the same mix as his chickens, minus the rice bran. Pigs don't like it. (Office Hours Dec 2025, 42:49)
At birthing, give each mama pig her own stall to eat in. Otherwise they dominate each other. (Office Hours Ep. 80, 1:02:26)
Piglets need no separate baby feed. (Cho, Theory, p. 174)
For sale, Cho gives an ideal fattened weight of about 105 kilograms at 160 to 170 days old. (Cho, Theory, p. 172)
