Iowa State College livestock expert William Zmol ek warns that proper hog handling to avoid bruises is crucial to securing top prices this fall and winter as higher slaughter volumes raise packer and buyer scrutiny. He notes hog bruise losses average about eight cents per head, totaling around five million dollars nationally in 1954, with 10 to 12 percent higher hog slaughter anticipated this year.
