This is how I make my own animal feeds (for pigs/hogs), this is not scientifically analyzed but it works for my pigs. They are cheap from local farmers’ co-op in my area.
Not every area has their farmers’ co-op but you may check your local farmers’ supplies. It is better to make your own feeds if you are raising just a few animals at a time or you’re raising only for food.
I decided to make my own to save some money. In our farmers co-op where I live, I bought 200 pounds of cracked corn, 40lbs of millet, 100lbs of wheat and just 50lbs of 24% animal feeds. Altogether, it cost me $49.50. Total of 390lbs of feeds for less than $50.00, and the amount per pounds is less than $0.13 (cents) a pound, huge savings than buying premix feeds.
I learn this trough trial and error and some may say this is not enough or have enough nutrients for your animals, but anything that works, I just do it. I have my piglets now for more than two weeks and I can see they are gaining weight now.
