Swine feeding tests show gains vary by ration
Purdue University swine expert Johto W Schwab reports feeding trials over four summers. Pigs on pasture without supplements averaged 52 pounds gain per head over 90 days. 4 bushels of corn per 100 pounds gain. Tankage and soybean mineral diets produced higher gains 150 and 147 pounds respectively, with final weights around 219 to 222 pounds. Professor W E Carroll notes protein supplements can boost daily gain from 0.88 to 1.25 pounds, with tankage saving corn and current prices favoring half tankage and half other protein sources when skimmilk is scarce.

Select Young Animals for the Feeder Stock
Iowa State College reporting three years of feeding trials shows steer calves bought in early winter and finished on dry feed yield higher profits than yearlings or two year olds. Calves offer faster gain with less feed per hundredweight, higher sale price, and greater margin over feed costs, while yearlings and two year olds lag in profitability.

Milk costs from 11000 cows show dairy herd savings
Ohio State extension specialist van McKellip notes that dairy herd improvement associations help select top producers and tailor feeding to records. In 1930s data the 11000 member cows averaged 7597 pounds milk and 822 pounds butterfat, yielding $136 above feed costs and a product worth $220 per herd, with labor income about 60 cents per hour per cow.

Boutfleurs System of Feeding Dairy Cattle
A Canadian dairy feeding method reduces roughage and uses diverse high protein feeds. The dry cow receives a steaming up program before calving, while calves and heifers are developed with ample roughage and grain. Skeptics fear overfeeding. supporters cite potential for faster gains and better intake in large cows.

Grinding roughage yields modest milk fat gains at more cost
Maryland's experiment shows ground hay increases milk by 1.31 percent and butterfat by 4.84 percent but grinding costs offset gains, yielding negligible overall profit. Other reports from Pennsylvania note slightly better digestibility except crude fiber, while Walker Gordon farms favor drying and grinding alfalfa for storage.
