Raising feeder pigs on deep bedding

We are trying things out a little differently, we're taking our feeder pigs from pasture to a open barn with deep bedding in hopes to improve the operation in a positive way by applying forages to the bedding material to incourage rooting and aeration of the litter which will turn into a very usable nutrient that we can apply to our fields and gardens. The spacious barn will allow plenty of room for the pigs to root and move around while providing a shaded roof protecting them from the elements.
