Title: Alternative Feeds info.
Post by: hughesy on February 05, 2013, 06:31:31 pm

Dunno if this has been posted before but it's worth a read. Gives some useful information about various feeds including sugar beet etc which has been debated here many times. http://www.britishpigs.org.uk/Newcastle_handbook_of_raw_materials.pdf (http://www.britishpigs.org.uk/Newcastle_handbook_of_raw_materials.pdf)

Sally in the North has posted it several times and i have seen it, its where the 4lb of veg = 1lb pig nuts rule comes from.
It is very interesting so a welcome reappearance for any newbies who missed it first time round. :thumbsup:
