inwas just wondering what type of margin there would be in fattening. Pig I have a pretty much unlimited local supply of brewers grain if that is any good. I’d consider breeding or just buying weaned. Thanks in advance

You will want a proper feed ration as well as the brewers grains for proper growth and for the limiting amino acids IMO.

I chuck out some brewers grains to help the local micro brewery but don't class it as anything more than a treat really and to get rid of a waste product. The pigs waste a lot too and don't really have the taste for it but then I feed a finishing ration ad-lib so that might have something to do with it.
