Maggots. Very common in garbage as they are fly larvae. You should seriously consider not feeding garbage as disease can be passed easily from hogs to humans and vice versa. And with all due respect you should do more research before beginning any farm enterprise....yes I"ve slopped lots of hogs but it was garden and orchard waste only. The feed costs should always be considered before starting any ag enterprise and never, never feed other people"s garbage to hogs.
