Feeding Foods Scraps to Chickens, Pigs, and Worms

After donating edible food for people to eat, feeding animals such as chickens or pigs is the next best recommended use for food scraps. A local chicken or pig farmer may be interested in taking your food scraps, or you can feed your own chickens or pigs.

Feeding chickens

Feeding food scraps to chickens is most effective when the portion of scraps the chickens don't eat are composted. The remaining food scraps will need to be combined with dry, carbon-rich materials, called "browns," such as straw, dry leaves, and woodchips just like in any other compost system.

Feeding pigs

For contamination and pathogen purposes, Federal and State law strictly regulates what may be fed to pigs, and what steps must be taken to ensure that pigs are not fed any meat-related foods nor foods that may have been exposed to areas, equipment or tools that have been in contact with meat. We do not recommend feeding post-consumer food scraps to pigs, as it is practically impossible to ensure none of the materials have been in contact with meat or fish, including organs, bones, and juices, raw or cooked. Though it is generally accepted that feeding personal food scraps to pigs that are for personal consumption if fine.

Pigs enjoy things like vegetables (cucumbers, corn, beans, cooked potatoes, beets), root veggies, fruits (cherries, peaches), berries, mushrooms, and more.

Pigs CAN NOT eat:
Raw Meet: Wild pigs are opportunistic eaters in the wild and have been known to kill and eat smaller animals as prey, or even dine on carrion.
They have to do what they have to do, but for our domesticated pigs, raw meat is not a good idea. It can make them vulnerable to various diseases and infections, and introduce parasites that may be transmitted to humans, or even ruin their meat. That’s a bad day, for sure.
If your pigs are going to have meat, it should be cooked first, or used as an ingredient in a processed supplement or feed
Raw Eggs: Just like raw meat, raw eggs are a no-no for domestic pigs and for many of the same reasons. The risk of salmonella and other diseases is just too great, and it’s not worth the potential consequences. If you want to give your pigs eggs, make sure they’re cooked first.
