Response to Bakery Feed

My neighbor feeds his pigs on shredded leftover bakery goods, old bags of chips from a nearby distributer, and what-have-you. He also feeds his poultry the same. (Do old fritos and potato chips have the same nutritional value as regular feed? not sure). However, we have eaten both pork and turkey from his farm, and the flavor leaves quite a bit to be desired. The pork had a funny, faint taste - could be the doritos and bbq pork rinds. The turkeys were flaccid and his drop-out (death) rate was too high. I don't know if what you're describing is the same type of food. I know this wasn't much help, but to me , the extra cost involved in regular feed as well as the proven benefits and fattening/flavor is worth the $$$. Perhaps looking into growing your own??? Good luck.
