Pig Feed

Pig Feed

Raising pigs involves feeding them a balanced diet to keep them healthy and nourished. At Tractor Supply, we make it simple to find the proper feed for your pigs in our wide variety of livestock products.

Supply Your Pigs with Nutrients and Energy

Pigs require a diet with proper nutrients so they can grow, reproduce, maintain their bodies and more. Find the feed you need to nourish your pigs in our selection, which features options:

Made for Pigs of Different Life Stages

Pigs of different ages require specific types of feed to meet their developmental needs. If you have young piglets, explore options with high protein that help them grow strong and healthy. For adult pigs, feed formulated with energy and nutrients will help them meet their full genetic potential. Our selection also includes formulas for pigs of all life stages that provide all the nutrients they need, so you don’t need to supplement it with other products.

Packaged in Various Weights

Pigs can eat a lot of food, so make sure you have enough to satisfy their appetites. Feed in lower weights of 20 and 25 pounds is often sufficient for smaller groups of pigs. If you have a full farm or pigs with voracious appetites, 50-pound bags and even 2,000-pound super sacks are available so you can be sure you won't run out.

In Several Food Forms

Our feed for pigs comes in two main forms: pellets and meal. Pellet feed is a common choice to give pigs, especially nursery pigs because it is easy to consume and provides plenty of nutrients. Meal feed can also be ideal for senior pigs that eat out of a feeder or those that have post-weaning scours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pig Feed

What is pig meal feed made out of?

Meal feed for pigs is typically made of a mixture of ingredients, including barley, corn and wheat.

Is pellet or meal feed better for pigs?

Most pig farmers prefer pellets for their pigs because they improve feed efficiency and offer better digestibility and nutrient absorption than meal. However, some piglets may benefit from meal feed after weaning to reduce scours.

How often should you give your pigs feed?

Pigs need to be fed every day, but the schedule of meals and amount of feed will depend on their breed, age, sex, life stage and condition. In general, sows and boars are fed once or twice a day, while growing pigs should ideally have access to feed 24 hours a day. Also, make sure to give your pigs fresh water daily to keep them hydrated.
