I have a large bag full of turnips. I am going to give the greens to my chickens. Is it ok to give the turnip to my hogs? If so, should I cook them first like I do with potatoes? I always cook potatoes before I feed them to my hogs. Just curious.

good morning jennifer, we feed our pigs produce every day. they like turnips. yes you can feed raw. the reason for cooking potatoes is they are hard to digest. hope this helps sherrye

Thanks, Sherrye. I have been on a very steep learning curve for the past few years. My hogs love veggies and fruit. I had just never given them turnips. I am just learning and researching and asking and learning. :)
Question for all of you hog farmers
