This will be good for me to keep an eye on we're due to go to a local place that has lots and lots of apple trees and the owner says i can take them for the pigs what i was going to do was spread them around the field so they're kept occupied for a while.
Correct me if i'm wrong but are apples meant to flavour the meat? Just remember hearing it somewhere along the line
Although a pig fed enough apples should take on an appley flavour (after all, its why our garden eggs are so much better, not that slugs and woodlouse are tastey), the reason is rather more seasonal. Historicaly, pigs were the last animals to be slaughtered before winter, around the time the last fruit crop could be harvested, which was coincidently apples.
Fresh Pork, Fresh Apples, pork in apple sauce.
