Question Watercress

Can I feed my pigs watercress?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercress

I have got some at the moment to use in salads but am unsure if I can feed them and if I can how often is best?

Watercress is mentioned in some other threads but I can't seen to get specific information. I also can't seem to spot it on the nutrition charts. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Watercress

Watercress is the very last one on the leafy veggies section -

It says 1-2 times a week.

My pigs hated it. Hope you have better luck than me with it.

Re: Watercress

Thanks Paula,

I have the charts printed and I looked online twice and still missed that at the bottom. Must have had a mans look as my Mum used to say (no offence to the men out there). Either that or a very blonde moment. I will let you know how they go.

Re: Watercress

Well the piggies seem to like it. They ate all the bits that I gave them. So sounds like I did have better luck.
