According to the chart, you can give 25 grams once or twice a week. 15 grams is about a tablespoon or about 1 leaf. so Id estimate 1-2 leaves per pig, depending on the size of the leaves?

I usually give 2 leave or so sometimes with a bit of stalk. It really depends on how large they are. If they are small leaves (like newly sprouted) I give several.

I was wondering if you were thinking ml. 15 ml is the same as a tablespoon. I weigh my girls greens out and one cup of leafy greens weighs about 30 grams, depending how much you pack in.

No I was thinking of grams, 5grams of sugar is approximately 1 teaspoonful.
I guess that doesnt work so well with leaves...But I would still be more inclined give a few leaves of it, rather than whole cup...
