Rye Pasture Boosts Litter Size and Feed Savings in Swine
A University study shows gilts on rye pasture outperform dry lot gilts with 15 percent alfalfa in the mix, producing larger litters and lower feed costs. Tests at Urbana note 98 pigs per gilt when alfalfa rises to 15 percent, while fall sown rye provides vitamins for pregnant and lactating sows.
Rye Pasture and Alfalfa Meal Boost Swine Litters
Gilts fed rye pasture or 15 percent alfalfa meal show real profit, reports G R Carlisle of Illinois. Gilts on rye pastures wean larger litters and heavier pigs than those in drylot, with rye pasture gilts producing more and heavier pigs on less feed. College tests found winter and early spring pastured gilts weaned 6.5 pigs per gilt at 32 pounds, compared with 2.2 pigs per gilt and 17 pounds for a non pastured group.
