Purdue Hog Feeding Results 1937 Soybeans and Byproducts
Purdue reports 1937 hog feeding tests with roasted soybeans and soybean oil meal as supplements for brood sows and young pigs. Hominy feed outperformed corn for faster gains, yet equal pricing negates pork cost differences. A home mixed supplement improved gains on alfalfa pasture and corn, while mulching soil with manure or straw aids alfalfa stand and reduces winter kill, with cautions on dense deposits.
Feeding Horses After Spring Farm Work
Purdue recommends light hay rations for work horses at spring start, then gradual increase after corn planting with pasture preferred on hot nights. Feed split into three equal meals, grain at 1 lb per 134 Ibs of live weight per day, oats as base or mix 100 Ibs corn 200 Ibs oats 30 Ibs linseed meal, water and salt before and after meals in hot weather, avoid azoturia by halving grain if not turned out Saturday night.
