Re: Picky piggy does not like pills.

The GTN tabs are a vitamin C supplement you can by from Oxbow. They are to help pigs get enough C they may not be getting from their diet. I would only give 1/2 tab per pig daily though. Pigs need 10-30mg of C per kg of weight daily. These tabs are 50 mg so half would be 25 and they will get the rest of their C from the pellets and veggies. I don't recommend giving these to pigs who get a nice varied diet of veggies and eat them fine. Basically they are for sick pigs who aren't eating or for pigs who haven't learned to eat a lot of veggies like in Quack's case.

You can crush it and put it on the wet lettuce. If that doesn't work then try sprinkling it over the pellets.
