ive never fed fish based products to the hogs due to reading it somewhere on a forum, might have been this one, might have been the hog forum, cant remember, but either way, i cannot recall WHY? and what proof there is its detrimental? and when we say fish based products, what do we mean? like wet food with fish in it? or dry biscuits with fish derivatives? or both? what ARE we actually ok to feed?

This is the same as for native hogs and nobody seems to know why. We are all busy feeding dried cat food but if you check the box most of them contain fish oil. I keep asking the same question and nobody has yet come up with an answer so this thread will be interesting

no one really knows why - some-one told me ages ago that its come over from America and they have been keeping hogs a lot longer than us and it was a ? issue so hence its generally accepted as not advised for long term use rather than specifically not good for them- fish oil is a derivative and safe but it is in a lot of foods but not all of them - depends on the brand - please someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong - its what I was told when researching and have since avoided it

Maybe the hogs will end up being able to concentrate really well with all the fish oils

I can understand the reasoning behind salmon and tuna (guessing its the same as with dog food?) but sardines/pilchards etc can't do no harm surely?

Handle tricky situations as if you were a dog, if you can't hump it or eat it, just piss on it and walk away.

Why cant dogs have salmon or Tuna?? Some hypoallergenic food is made from Salmon and potatoe
