Feeding Wheat to Live Stock Affects Hog Diets Across States
Nebraska experiment findings show coarsely ground wheat performs as well as corn for fattening hogs when grinding costs are offset. Ground wheat should be coarse, soaking helps but is not essential, and self-feeding can save labor. Wheat’s low protein and ash require supplementation with milk, tokage, or alfalfa, and market conditions will determine widespread use. Farmers with hogs and wheat on hand may benefit from feeding wheat, especially if corn prices are high. Large pigs may justify full wheat feeding if hog markets rise. lighter pigs should on pasture and finish with new corn.
