Hi guys,
The other week my vet came out for a visit and suggested I collected some acorns to feed to my growing pigs to cut the feed bill. My neighbour has an oak tree in one of her fields and said I could help myself so that's what I plan to do this week! I'm just wondering though how they should be stored, I have lots of potato sacks they could go into or are they better in something air tight? Also do they need to be cleaned/ washed or dried before? Lastly, how do I know how much to give them? My pigs are five months old and are currently being fed country pig pellets, they eat about 2 buckets a day. How much feed can I swap out for acorns? Any advice would be great.
Many thanks!
