How to Feed Shelled Corn to Hogs
- 1). Ration out enough shelled corn for three days of feeding. Most full-grown hogs will need approximately 10 lbs. of corn a day. Put the rationed corn in the 20-gallon tub.
- 2). Cover the shelled corn with water. Fill the tub so the water level is four inches above the corn. Corn will expand as it soaks. Cover the tub with the lid.
- 3). Let the corn soak for 24 hours prior to feeding. Stir the corn with the shovel at least once a day.
- 4). Dip the day's ration out of the tub, and pour the feed into a feed trough.
- 5). When you feed the last of the soaked corn on day three, refill the tub with corn and water. This way the next batch will be ready to feed the next day.
- 6). Supplement your hogs with soybeans or alfalfa meal in addition to the corn ration.
