Feeding Hogs In Extension Advice From Texas Agent
Mr Don T Griswold of the Extension Service of Texas Agricultural College explains hog feeding for pigs around 100 pounds. A ration of 10 pounds of corn to 1 pound of tankage or cottonseed meal yields about 10 pounds of pork per bushel of corn, with sorghums or rice bran as alternatives. Adding greens or pasture can boost pork yield beyond 10 pounds per bushel.
