Neighbours of ours feeds wheat as part of their pigs' diet (part pellets, part wheat and beans, and fruit & veg when available), but soaks the wheat the day before feeding it to improve digestion instead of rolling or cracking it. Anybody who had advice on this? It seems to work as his pigs always grow well without being too fat (he only fattens some in the summer, there's no breeding stock).

Whole wheat can be fed to pigs , but you need to soak it in water for at least 24hrs first. Good cheap feed.
