Title: Boar feed
Post by: littleoakfarm on January 10, 2016, 09:55:37 am

I see lots of info on feed for wearers and sows etc. But what do people feed their boars.
Be interested for input on this please

Working boar?  Ours gets just over 2 kg a day of 16% nuts with a few apples or vegetables thrown in when available. Less if it's hot, more if it's not.  I aim for lean and keen.

Yes a working boar.

So 2kg of Sow nuts is exactly what I'm doing plus like you said the odd fruit and veg when available.

Thanks for the help must be doing something right then.
