Rye Recommended as Economical Swine Feed
Minnesota experiment station and extension men say rye can substitute for corn in hog fattening as an economical practice given current prices. H G Zavoral notes 102 pounds rye equals 100 pounds corn in results, while ground rye is about 94 percent the value of ground corn per ton. Rye is less palatable and harder to chew, so grinding or rolling and mixing with corn or oats improves feed efficiency for hogs.
