In addition to plenty of space, abundant sunlight, and plenty of fresh air, the StrohSchwein from Genuss Gruber enjoys a high-quality diet of barley, wheat, peas, broad beans, and pumpkin pie.
Barley is well-suited for fattening due to its dietary properties. It has a lower energy content .
The use of wheat in pig feed is based on its high energy content and high digestibility. The valuable components of this grain for feeding are its high starch and protein content.
Peas and broad beans contain half as much protein as soy, but they loosen up crop rotation, improve soil structure, and help save nitrogen fertilizers—good for the straw pig and good for the soil!
Hans-Georg Nenning uses pumpkin pie as a substitute for the missing soy protein; fat is also an important part of pumpkin pie.
The grain comes exclusively from farmer Hans Georg Nenning's own cultivation; only the pumpkin cake is purchased from a pumpkin seed oil press in order to close their cycle.
In order to ensure sustainability on his fields, Hans Georg Nenning cultivates his fields without plowing . This requires a few more steps, but the grain is stronger and richer in nutrients for the straw pig and the soil is not damaged.
What you eat is what you are, and that's why the food for the StrohSchwein is completely natural and free from additives or artificial nutrients.
