Feeding Boars

When providing nutrition to your boar, you are looking to control their weight and body condition while still keeping optimal breeding performance. It is commonplace to feed your boar the same diet as a gestating sow; however, this may affect their libido and semen productivity. A better alternative is a limited sow lactation diet; protein and lysine is higher, while the energy density is similar. Your animal should average 5–6.5 pounds of food per day, again depending on size, temperature, how heavily you use your boar, etc.

Note that not everyone will keep a boar as I did. I’ve added this side note regarding their nutritional needs, should you be considering keeping a boar.
