Re: Questions about cilantro and grass

Cilantro is an herb that can be fed on a daily basis. It's also called coriander.

Grass if overfed can cause tummy upsets if the pigs aren't used to it. Wet grass is fine to feed as long as it's not overwet. The best way to do it is just cut enough for that day and feed it also making sure they have unlimited grass hay as well. Fresh grass is an addition, not a replacement, for hay. You can store dry grass for a day in a plastic bag. I've done this before with no ill effects, especially when I've gotten it from friends' yards before they've mowed. I just pop the bag into the refridgerator to keep it fresh.

Also regarding grass, don't mow your yard with a mower then pick up the clippings. The grass starts fermenting and isn't good for pigs. If you go out with scissors, shears, etc. and cut it yourself then it's fine.
