Re: Pigs and Grass

Because I've always been told that pigs are to have unlimited amounts of hay. Forages are also important in the diet. I feed my own pigs grass and other forages all through the summer months but I've never replaced their hay with grass, I just give them fresh grass in addition. Many people don't have access to the amounts of fresh grass that pigs would need to replace the hay.

Doesn't hay have more fiber content or would fresh grass have more fiber content?
