Feed blends boost hog gains in 1928 Nebraska tests
Nebraska experiment station tests show a mix of one part linseed oil meal to three parts tankage as the best high protein feed for hogs. Self-fed on shelled corn and sweet clover pasture, pigs with oilmeal in tankage ate better, gained more, and produced 100 pounds of pork with less feed than corn and tankage alone. Tankage aids corn and pasture rations, especially for early market, while limited hand feeding increases pasture intake for cheaper, slower gain.
