You’ll see lots of recommendations to feed your pigs high-calorie foods to encourage them to gain weight. Some common solutions include bread, baked goods, and syrups. *****
These should be heavily discouraged. They’ll make your pigs put on weight quickly, but it will be useless weight. You’ll pay the butcher to cut off most of this fat and discard it. As I mentioned earlier, some can be used as lard that you can then render – but not all of it. Plus, you’ll be taking up valuable space for more palatable cuts, like hams and bacon.
Instead of loading your pig up on junk food, consider adding “palatability enhancers.” Rather than feeding a pig a bucket of molasses, for example, try drizzling just a little bit on the feed. This will encourage your pig to eat more without taking on too many empty calories.
You can also try simply wetting your pig’s feed. This will soften it, making it easier to ingest and more palatable. It’s also a good way to ensure your pigs are drinking enough water!
