Swine Feeding Tests Show Grain Essential on Rape Pasture
University of Minnesota swine expert R. C. Astby reports on three 11 week trials with six pigs per lot on rape pasture. Pigs fed 2, 3, and 4 percent corn gains valued at 7 cents per pound yielded profits of 43.16 to 61.36 dollars after pasture costs. Without grain, pigs would gain little, he notes, and rape can pay about 50 dollars per acre only with grain feeding.

Best Animals for Breeding in Swine
Select the boar for use when ready and acclimate him to care methods. Do not use a boar under ten months for large litters. Some claim young boars on mature sows yield larger pigs at one year. Choose breeding sows from early spring litters at six months, and pick long bodied quiet good feeders. Breed gilts at ten months if good breeders, raise uniform litters, and keep them while profitable.
