Most hog feeds do contain high supplemental copper, but there are formulas out there that don't.

I would not feed rats something that can be fed to any ruminants like cattle, they require HIGH fiber and roughage being herbivores, that is not something a pig or rat would thrive on.
I'd have to disagree. I'm in Oregon and I found out that "Country Acres" is indeed a Purina product. It's just that the 16% hog feed has been renamed Sow and Pig Grower ( at least in THIS distribution area.) They no longer medicate as many kinds/types of hog feed whereas (when I was in FFA 20+ years ago) everything for hogs was medicated. But be sure to ask your feed store, JIC.

As of today, a 50# is 9.99, vs. the 17.99 (or so) for 25# of Mazuri. Did I see somewhere that the 50# CAN'T be fed to the fancies???? It would sure help the budget if the pets raising food, AND the ASFs can eat the hog feed!!
