Poultry diet study shows breed differences in weight gain
An English experiment measured daily food intake and gains across fowl breeds. Buff Cochins ate most food, but did not lead in egg production or early growth. Dorkings and Langshans showed rapid weight gain, while Hamburgs and Leghorns produced more eggs.

Woodlot Management for Profit and Conservation

Proper Pig Rations Through Winter to Slaughter
Guidance from Professor Stewart on feeding sows and pigs through winter. Start with potatoes and oats, shift to wheat middlings and cottonseed meal, avoid overuse of cottonseed before pigs narrow, add gluten or buckwheat middlings as variety, and use boiled clover hay to boost palatability. Sows suckling pigs require bran or middlings, corn meal, gluten and linseed meals with clover hay. after weaning, continue with middlings and meals mixed with grass, limit corn until established for fattening, then introduce cornmeal gradually. Target daily gain of about one pound from birth to slaughter, aiming for 300 pounds at around 800 days old.
