Hog Feed: coffee beans? Has anyone ever tried to feed hogs coffee beans and the husks from coffee beans? I have access to a large quantity and thought it might be a good supplement for pigs or cattle food. Any thoughts?

No, I don't, but worm farmers use it as feed. But if you get any positive responses, let me know in a private e-mail.

India uses coffee pulp for cattle feed. Per 100 grams 203 calories: 6.3% water 11.7 grams protein 10.8 grams fat 68.2 grams carbs 22.9 grams fiber 3 grams ash 120 mg calcium 2.9 mg iron 178 mg phosphate .22 mg thiamine 1.3 mg niacin .6 mg riboflavin 20 4beta-carotine equivalent (whatever that is). BUT in humans, nausea begins at 1000mg of caffeine, and fatal toxicity begins at 10000mg. If I were you, I would experiment on a pig I didn't like.

I understand the husks. But why the coffee beans themselves. In the area where I am involved in Haiti, coffee is a major cash crop to otherwise dirt poor farmers.

The beans we have are a by-product of the process where they are prepared for commercial use. The beans are "waste" from a cleaning process. They are perfectly acceptable for use in coffee but when they are lost in the cleaning process, it is not commercial feasible to salvage them.
