Skimmed Milk Value in Hog Feeding and Dairy Byproducts
The article explains skimmed milk feeding for hogs, equating 100 pounds to half a bushel of corn and noting its value is five times the live hog price per pound. Whey is about half as valuable as skimmed milk. It adds bone and teeth material, but cream removal upset balance and may cause constipation, which oil cake meal can counter by replacing fat at under two cents per pound.
Feeding Cow Grain Rations
Time is valuable for the average dairyman to balance a ration for each cow. The usual plan is to mix a grain ration for the herd and feed it according to production. In special cases additional grain feeds may be given to cows needing extra energy or protein to maintain body condition.
