Balanced Ration for Sows and Pigs Advocated in 1917
The Uincy Whig argues for balanced feed to increase litter size and vigor. It cites Iowa station data: corn alone yields 56 pigs per litter, 6:1 corn to oats yields 44, and corn with alfalfa or meat meal boosts litters to about 9.6 or 9 pigs respectively, with lower costs per head. Protein and minerals are essential for bone and muscle development, reducing production costs and improving pig vitality before and after farrowing.
