Ration Early Pigs For Health And Growth
Purdue University expert John W. Schwab stresses starting young pigs on a ration to boost health, vigor, and disease resistance. A home mix of 80 lb cracked corn, 20 lb coarsely ground wheat, 10 lb tankage, fed via self feeder until 50 to 60 lb, is recommended with substitutions like middlings or hulled oats. Skim milk can replace tankage. soybeans are not suitable for small pigs. good commercial feeds may supplement the home mix.
