International Hog Swine Feed Poster
The profit of a hog farmer is definitely determined by the method of feeding. Around the world swine are raised on lots of feeds and by-products. In some areas hogs are only fed on pastures with no supplements. Only a small percentage of roughage is consumed in the United States by swine. Corn is used as feed more than any other feed over the fifty states. The agriculture is very different depending on the area and the diets are usually produced locally. Feeding is usually adapted around the world as in some sections hogs are fed homegrown feeds, while in others they are fed mostly potatoes and by-products. In some sections they are fed sugar beets, or forage, and in some areas the hogs have to rely on being a scavenger.
