Some Pigs are very affectionate and wag their tails
just like dogs when they are happy. This is a sunny beautiful, cold day
and the day, Piggy goes to slaughter. To say i am sad is an
understatement. I can't listen to the gunshot, i can not see the blood and
i don't know if i can eat him. You never need to feed beet pulp to them
tho, as i have never seen a skinny pig, not to say there may be someone out
there who has.
Having a horse with Cushings who came back into my
life who was skinny and 26 yo, i've been feeding rice bran (cup a day)
beet pulp (3/4 scoop) and senior feed (2 scoops) twice a day for over a year now
and he was still ribby, tho he had gained some weight. In July, he was
started on a product called Oxy-Kick with one heaping tablespoon in each
ration. He has not only in this time filled out w/ no ribs showing, but
the farriar commented on the way his feet has improved, and on his last visit
mentioned how his winter coat has come in and he doesn't usually see that much
growth of both hair and hoof. Even his side -kick buddy who gets some of
the crumbs, who has no shoes and usually has a chip somewhere has stronger
hooves and no chips. The only differance in over a year was the
Oxy-Kick. Believe me, or not.
What makes Oxy-Kick relavant to Pigs you
ask? It was developed by a pig farmer from Arizona.
