Warning to Hog Raisers on Feeding Brood Sows
County Agent Fred Fi Olark urges hog raisers to feed brood sows a protein rich ration despite high feed costs. He warns that corn heavy diets deprive developing piglets of bone and muscle building elements, lowering litter size and sow vitality. A balanced ration with meat meal or tankage improves farrowing outcomes and overall gains. For small sows: corn 4 to 34% pounds plus meat meal 14 to 34 pounds per head daily. yearling sows: corn 4 to 5 pounds plus meat meal 1/2 pound per head daily.
