Feeding pet pigs correctly is one of the most confusing topics for owners. Many pigs either end up malnourished or obese due to misinformation, and unfortunately, some breeders intentionally underfeed piglets to keep them small—leading to severe health issues and even early death.
In this episode, we break down exactly how to feed your pig for optimal health and longevity. We’ll cover:
• The dangers of breeders restricting food to keep pigs tiny.
• Why feeding instructions on the bag aren’t always accurate.
• How genetics, metabolism, and activity level impact food needs.
• The difference between complete feeds and diets that require supplementation.
• How to assess your pig’s body condition to ensure they’re getting the right amount of food.
Rather than relying on generic feeding charts, the best way to determine if your pig is at a healthy weight is by looking at their body condition. Signs of underfeeding include visible hip bones and a narrow frame, while overweight pigs may have large fat pads and struggle to move comfortably. The key is to keep them lean, not skinny.
