Rations for hogs and corn feeding dangers discussed
An 1890s article reviews experiments showing pigs fed exclusively on corn develop weaker bones and smaller organs, with 4 to 5 month feeding affecting carcass quality. It notes shifts to shorts, peas, or skimmilk improve meat and bone strength, and warns of dangers if such feeding regimens spread among breeders. It also highlights World Fair livestock premiums and comments on crossbreeding horned cattle.
