i have got half a bag of sheep food is it OK to feed it to the pigs as it would be a shame for it to go to waste.

I had to buy sheep nuts one time as my feed merchant had run out of pig food and mixed them in with the remaining pig nuts that I had and they were fine! Think it is more the vitamins and minerals that would be different.

I believe pigs can eat sheep food but sheep can't eat pig due to the copper .... Someone with more interest in sheep will be along to confirm however

They should be ok short-term just to finish the sack off, just mix it in with their usual feed.
