NUTRITION (cont)
Commercial laboratory feed is available in several varieties. Generally, there are different formulations for weanling pigs, growing pigs and breeders. There are also feeds that have been formulated for miniature swine. These laboratory feeds do not contain the antibiotics and growth stimulators that may be found in rations used for meat producing animals. Specific guidelines for how much of a particular ration that should be fed to a particular weight range may be obtained from the food manufacturer. Pigs should be fed once or twice a day.
