Night Hog Feeding Experiment Begins at Illinois Farm
A July 1 start at Robert Turner’s farm on Western Avenue west of Henry launches what is described as the nation's first night feeding hog study. A herd of 118 Duroc hogs was weighed in with witnesses from Ira Burton and Paul Laffey. The test uses two 150 watt lights over feeders and one in the pen area to extend feeding hours from 10 to 11:30 pm and 2 to 3:30 am. Powered by Kraft Foods Kraylets and Henry Hatchery, the trial tracks whether cooler night feeding boosts intake and gains in hot weather.
