Swine breeding research explores hormones and crossbreeding
Dr. Robert Melampy reports no link between carcass length and meatiness while future breeding may use hormones to synchronize sow fertility. James Whatley notes crossbreeding yields gains in litter size and weight, but carcass quality remains about the average of the two parents. Iowa Swine Testing Station shows gradual improvements in backfat and meat yield across tested pigs.

Washington reports that 1957’s large feed crop boosts livestock but won’t cause a meat glut in 1958. Hog marketings stay high into late winter, with hog prices firming by spring and pork output rising about 6 percent in 1958. Slaughter in late 1957 fell, with pigs to hit the market by August and lamb prices expected to rise modestly.
