The United States Department of Agriculture will study whether feeding peanuts to sows affects the fat in hog offspring. At Beltsville Maryland experiment farm four Tamworth and four Poland-China gilts will be fed a peanut ration from weaning to first litter. The pigs will then be raised on a hardening ration and compared with a control group whose dams were fed hardening seeds. Slaughter tests will assess carcass quality to see if peanut diets influence flesh development in the progeny.
