Varied Pig Gains From Identical Feeds In County Study
Washington County Farm Bureau notes show nine lots of four pigs each fed the same ration for 107 days produced daily gains from 0.92 to 1.43 pounds. The average pork cost was about 4 cents per pound, with cutout values ranging from $6.90 to $7.10 per hundred. Results indicate strong differences in hog response to identical feeding and indicate a future swine project in the county if producer interest grows.
