Lime feeds to prevent leg paralysis in sows
Dr. W B Carroll of the University of Illinois explains that leg paralysis in brood sows, known as going down in the back, is often caused by the sow drawing excess lime from her bones to feed piglets. This weakens bones and can crack a backbone vertebra, pressing on the spinal cord and causing loss of hind leg control. Early maize varieties favored for silage yield better dry matter due to matured grain. Reid's Yellow Dent led in food value among the tested types.
