Soybean silage proves economical feed in hog breeding tests
Pennsylvania State University researchers report soybean silage, with proper supplements, is a satisfactory economical feed for brood sows. In trials silage-fed sows farrowed 99 pigs per litter and weaned 329 lb, while control sows had 103 pigs and 304 lb. Feed cost per pig was $129 vs $196 for controls. extra corn could narrow the gap.
