Extension News Service on Three Percent Grain Ration for Pigs
Data from the North Platte Experimental Substation shows pigs on alfalfa pasture gain most and profit most when fed grain equal to 3 percent of their weight. The study finds two and a half to three pounds of corn daily per 100 pounds live weight yields the best growth and profit, though higher corn prices narrow margins. Even with corn at 79 cents and hogs at seven and a half cents, the 3 percent ration remains the most profitable option.
