Substitute for corn in hog feeding fails in study
The Minnesota college of agriculture tested barley as a replacement for corn in fattening hogs. One group fed corn with storage and another barley with tankage. barley hogs gained less and used 18.3 percent more feed for 1100 pounds. Both groups sold at the same price, but corn-fed hogs earned $1.65 more per head, though barley can be profitable in regions where corn is scarce. Professor N K Carnes cautions results favor corn, noting barley’s higher protein and fiber.
