Best Answer

Since pigs are omnivores, they require a diet that satisfies both their needs for meat and vegetation. Thus, most pigs that are raised on farms (like those in swine barns) are fed mainly grain like corn, wheat, barley, oats or rye, with other things added such as fish meal, bone meal or blood meal, and necessary minerals and vitamins.

Pigs that are not raised in a swine barn can and are also fed table scraps, and allowed to root in fields (those that are meant for them to be rooting around in) for roots and tubers. Some pigs even eat grass. Wild pigs are known to eat nuts that fall on the ground from trees and even berries. They will also scavenge a carcass if they come across one.
