Florida Tropics Pig Forage Mix

Our Florida Subtropics Pasture Pig Mix has been carefully chosen to adapt to the warm humid tropical climate of the region. This mix includes warm-season grasses like Bahia and Hybrid Pearl Millet and cool-season Timothy as well as legumes such as alfalfa and clover. These varieties are all included to provide nutritious, palatable, and reliable sources of forage for pasture pigs, while also helping to maintain healthy pasture ecosystems. Birdsfoot Trefoil was added to reduce bloating.

It’s an instinct and inclination for pigs to forage for food. Foraging fosters nutritional variety, environmental stimulation, rooting instincts, as well as behavioral fulfillment and an outlet for their natural behavior. This mix produces a pasture that will contain approximately:

30% Bahia

20% Alfalfa

15% Hybrid Pearl Millet

10% Timothy

10% White Clover

5% Field Radish

5% Forage Pea

5% Birdsfoot Trefoil
