Hi I am seeing on the web that buckwheat causes sun blisters in lightly coloured pigs, including red breeds like Tamworths. Can anyone confirm? I have some rough pastures that I want to renovate with pigs . I'd like to seed in buckwheat behind them as a future lysine source. I have a local source of Tamworths but I cant find any Large Black or Berkshires nearby.
I also think this is something someone posted on the web sometime ago somewhere and is now considered gospel. Id love to know if anyone can confirm ? Its also probably dose dependent and they wont be eating just buckwheat but a diverse pastured diet.
