Pigs need a well-balanced diet that includes grains (like corn and barley), protein sources (soybean meal, peas, or fish meal), fiber (vegetables, hay), and essential vitamins and minerals. Ace Hi & Kelley’s pig feed is formulated to meet their nutritional needs at different life stages.

Pigs need a mix of carbohydrates (energy), protein (growth), fats, vitamins, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus.

Star Milling has a full balanced line of feed for all stages of your pigs growth.

• Pig Starter – 18% protein for pigs from 25-75 lbs.
• Pig Grower – 16% protein for pigs from 75- 175 lbs.
• Pig Finisher – 12.83% protein for pigs from 175-225 lbs.

Yes, pigs require essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and salt, along with vitamins like A, D, and E. Some may also benefit from probiotics or additional iron, especially piglets. Ace Hi & Kelley’s pig feed includes these nutrients in their formulations.

Piglets need their mother’s milk or a commercial pig milk replacer for the first few weeks. After weaning, they transition to a high-protein pig starter feed.

Yes, pigs can eat grass, hay, and other fibrous plants, but they should not rely on them as their main food source. Fiber is important for digestion, but pigs still need a balanced diet high in protein and energy.

Pregnant and lactating sows need a high-protein diet with extra energy and vitamins.

Ace Hi Sow Ration in our line that has all the proper nutrition that your sow will need. It carries all the Amino Acids, Energy, Fiber, Minerals, Vitamins and Omega-3 Fatty Acids that will sustain your sow throughout the entire time she is pregnant.

Yes, but with caution. Pigs can eat fruits, vegetables, grains, and some dairy, but avoid feeding them processed foods, salty or sugary snacks, raw meat, or moldy food. Always ensure scraps are safe and nutritious.

No, feeding raw meat is dangerous due to the risk of disease transmission. Cooked meat is safer in small amounts.

Most pigs should be fed twice a day to ensure proper digestion and growth.

This depends on the pig’s age, weight, and purpose (meat production or pet). Generally, adult pigs eat 4-8 lbs. of feed per day, while piglets require specialized starter feed.

No, free-feeding can lead to obesity. Instead, provide controlled portions twice a day.

Pigs need constant access to fresh, clean water. On average, an adult pig drinks 1-2 gallons per day per 100 lbs. of body weight, but this increases in hot weather or during lactation.

A high-energy diet with corn, soybean meal, and commercial grower feed helps pigs gain weight efficiently.

Yes! Pigs will eat as much as they can, leading to obesity and health problems. It’s important to control their portions.

Pigs can suffer from respiratory infections, parasites (worms, lice, mites), foot problems, and nutritional deficiencies. Vaccinations, proper hygiene, and a well-balanced diet help prevent many health problems.

Regular deworming, clean bedding, and proper sanitation reduce the risk of internal and external parasites. Providing a dry, well-ventilated environment also helps prevent infestations.

Pigs need a dry, draft-free shelter with good ventilation and protection from extreme weather. Provide adequate space, bedding (straw or shavings), and shade to keep them comfortable.

Pig pens should be cleaned at least once a week, with daily spot cleaning to remove waste. A clean environment helps prevent disease and keeps pigs healthy and happy.

Sheep primarily eat grass, hay, silage, and grains. They also require mineral supplements.

While sheep can survive on grass alone, their diet may need supplementation, especially in winter or for pregnant/lactating ewes.

Good-quality grass hay, alfalfa (for high energy needs), or legume hay can be fed, depending on their nutritional needs.

Grain is not necessary for all sheep but can be given to growing lambs, pregnant/lactating ewes, or finishing lambs for extra energy.

Sheep need salt, calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals like selenium and copper (in controlled amounts, as excess copper is toxic).

No, because cattle feed often contains too much copper, which is toxic to sheep.

Increase their nutrient intake in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy with good-quality hay and some grain if needed.

Some vegetable scraps are safe, but avoid onions, garlic, potatoes, and anything moldy or spoiled.

Toxic plants (e.g., yew, rhododendron, oleander), excessive grain, moldy hay, and high-copper feeds.

Adult sheep generally consume 2-3% of their body weight in dry matter per day.

Free-choice pasture is ideal, but supplemental feeding (hay/grain) should be done at least once or twice daily if pasture is insufficient.

Clean, fresh water should always be available, especially for lactating ewes and in hot weather.

Introduce grain and lush pasture slowly, provide roughage, and avoid sudden diet changes.
