Tankage as a Swine Feed Tested at Indiana Station
A Purdue study reports a feeding experiment using tankage as part of pig rations. Four lots of pigs, two breeds, tested corn meal with tankage, corn meal alone, and mixed rations. Lot I showed the best gains and cash balance, though one sided diets reduced appetite and quality. A later diet shift to mixed rations improved condition and feed efficiency, suggesting tankage can profitably supplement swine rations in Indiana.
