Well I don't know a heck of alot about pigs, However in high school I
raised My FFA pigs on milk that I showed and did extemely well all 3
years I did that, You do need to becareful, because they can get to fat,
but that was just an opinon as too what the judges were looking for in
the pigs, at the time.
As far the meat from these pigs it was quite tasty.
In regards to your last question on the pigs having mastitis from the
milk that is fed to them, that is untrue. Mastitis is generally an
enviromental and managemnt condition as to how the animals are cared
for.
In the dairy business to control mastits; cleanliness is an absolute top
priority, along with a good dry off period, and good body score on those
cows.
Most mastitis is treatable with the exceptions of micoplasma, and
gram-negative species.
