It has been demonstrated that seven or eight pounds of mangels have as great feeding value as one pound of grain, when given to pigs or hogs, and that sugar beets have even a greater value. Root crops also improve hog health beyond their feed value, and mixing them with light grain rations using middlings lowers costs, with ensilage as a possible substitute in some cases.

Prof G W Barnes advises farmers to avoid stallions labeled as hereditarily unsound. Poor conformation and weak tissue quality can be inherited and reveal themselves at maturity under work.
