John M. Evvard of Ames Town Experiment Station reports that adding high protein meat meal tankage or meat meal blends to sow rations reduces corn needs by up to two pounds daily per sow. Gains include heavier pig weights, more milk, fewer pig losses, stronger coats, and better disposition at farrowing, translating to more hog money for farmers using these balancers.
