The Purina Hog Program claims hogs reach market weight 32 pounds heavier in 2 weeks sooner while using 40 pounds less feed than a decade ago. Purina Hog Chow and home-grown grain are highlighted as key aids in this efficiency.
The message urges farmers to move hogs quickly to market using Purina Hog Chow to reduce feed costs. It claims faster marketing saves feed and invites buyers to ask at the elevator for Purina products and lower feeding expenses.
Purina highlights ten years of research behind a fortified early weaning chow designed for hog producers. In six trials with 616 pigs, Early Weaning Chow matched gains of piglets on sow milk and creep feed from weeks 3 to 6, achieving about 0.77 pounds per pig daily with 1.27 pounds of feed per pound gain. On farm, pigs weighed 23 to 33 pounds at six weeks, with feed costs per pound of gain ranging 12 to 14 cents under good management.
