Mineral nutrition boosts hog gains and forage efficiency
Experiments from the Als toma Station and others show hogs fed minerals such as phosphate lime or a lime charcoal salt mix gain more efficiently. Hogs grazing untreated forage may starve for minerals while mineral supplementation reduces feed needs and improves weight gain. Houston County hogs currently lack minerals and can be fed via mineral mix or by fertilizing graze crops to include phosphate and lime.
