Grain Mixed Feeds Boost Pig Growth in Winter Trials
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station reports that combining grain with tankage, skimmed milk, and plant protein improves pig gains versus grain or tankage alone. Winter feeding tests by W. Dobison show tankage plus grain doubles daily gains, with milk and legume hay further enhancing results. Bulletin 48 details optimal ratios, including alfalfa supplements, and notes that a mixed feed system supports pigs at all growth stages.

Laying Flocks Require Vitamin D and Green Feed
Winter confinement harms laying flocks by limiting direct sunlight and green feed. Ohio Experiment Station nutrition studies show vitamin D and green feed substitutes are essential. Proposals include cod liver oil in feed and using UV admitting glass substitutes, with hay or alfalfa meals and skim milk as partial substitutes to maintain flock health and profitability.
