    Hiya. I'm paying from €8.50-€10.50 for 20kg. Was buying PBP food at €14.50 for a 15kg bag all organic, and non gm. Have a friend buying organic at €14.75 for 20kg bag.
    What pigs are you feeding nd what you feeding?

    € 525 a ton will be some expensive pigs straight
    soya is only around €400-450 so those prices should be well down. You could make it cheaper by mixing with cattle ration at around 260 a ton would make it a bit cheaper
