Protein Supplement Cuts Swine Production Costs
Farmers hear that using a balanced protein supplement with corn in hog feed lowers total feed use. Tests show corn alone needs 11–12 bushels per hundred pounds of pork, while corn plus supplement yields 100 pounds of pork from 5.5–6 bushels corn and 50 pounds supplement. With current prices, each bushel of corn fed with supplement is worth about 2.25 to 2.75 dollars, versus 1.50 to 1.75 for corn alone. Hogs reach market weight in roughly five and a half to six months.
Handy Desk Built To Any Size For Shop Or Home
