Limit Energy Feeding Sows to Boost Litter Size and Longevity
Palmer Holden of Iowa State University cautions two limits for sow feeding: limit only energy, not protein or minerals, and ensure adequate nutrients to avoid sacrificing lactation and future breeding. For 5, 4, and 3 pounds daily, sow requirements vary in protein percent, lysine, calcium, and phosphorus, with finishing rations providing some guidance. Two ISU publications offer detailed guidance and are available free from county extension offices.

Pork Production Costs Rise Plague Swine Industry
Iowa State University extension swine specialist Emmett Stevermer reports pork production now costs 35 to 39 dollars per 100 pounds, up from 32 to 36 a year earlier, with higher interest rates and facility costs driving the rise. Feed, labor, and power expenses are major components, with feed at about 68 percent of total costs and corn and soybean meal prices easing slightly yet sustaining overall higher costs.
