Tankage Helps Hog Gain and Pasture Protection
A Kansas trial fed two hog groups on alfalfa pasture with different protein sources. One group received corn with no tankage and damaged the pasture, while the other was given a quarter pound of tankage per feed. Tankage animals gained more, 1.0 pounds per hog per day, and used less corn and feed overall, saving about 24 cents per 100 pounds of pork. The pasture damage was much lower with tankage, supporting pasture protection and reseeding cost considerations.
