Florida homestead question of the day
Can Kune Kune pigs live on grass alone?
Pasture can contribute substantially, but balanced nutrition depends on forage quality, season, life stage and body condition.
Florida pasture changes across the year. Growing, pregnant, nursing or thin pigs have different needs from easy-keeping adults.
What to do
- Evaluate pasture quantity and quality.
- Use a pig-appropriate balanced ration when needed.
- Provide unlimited clean water and pig-appropriate minerals.
- Monitor condition rather than feeding by breed reputation.
