Fig Feeding Experiments By Hunt At Illinois College Farm
Professor T. F. Hunt reports on hog fattening economics using cornmeal skim milk oats and Indian corn. Conclusions show skim milk uneconomical unless waste product, dry corn meal yields 12.8 pounds of pork per bushel, shelled corn 13.6 pounds per bushel, and oats are less efficient. Corn-fed pigs gain about 4.5 pounds weekly consuming ~21 pounds corn per 100 pounds live weight. Weather and corn price influence profitability. Indian corn deemed most economical in suitable months.
