If its readily digestible, the body doesn"t have to work. Smashing a sugar cube with a hammer is easier than smashing wood.

Digestibility decreases as feed intake increases because the feed is moving quickly. The more you put in, the faster you push it through. Grazing animals eat many small meals a day naturally. Pigs are fed all the feed they want all the time, so they are nibblers by nature.

Most of them are not fat for this reason. Because of this it"s easy to estimate the feed that they"ll need.
