Iowa State College economists report that the supply of concentrates during the first nine months of the 1950-51 feed year was about one million tons above the previous year. Two drying methods exist for crib corn heat ed air and unheated air with the latter cheaper but slower. Immature corn yields similar feeding value per pound of dry matter as mature corn, agronomists state.
County extension chief John McCataghey cites dramatic shifts in hog rations over 20 to 30 years. From corn only to balanced, multi supplement feeds, antibiotics and vitamins now cut feed needs, improve gains, and shorten time to market.
New findings indicate antibiotics are effective for pigs on pasture as well as in drylot. Including antibiotics in creep feed yields 5 to 10 pounds more at weaning and earlier market weight.

National losses run to millions, with cattle declines in milk, calves, cow value, fertility and beef, and swine losses from abortion and weak pigs.
The article notes brucellosis inflicts far more harm than the reported two to three million dollar loss. Herrick estimates hundreds more cattle are infected or undisclosed, threatening dairy markets and futures. He urges statewide cooperation with control programs to limit future losses and suffering.
