Ground wheat equals ground corn in feeding value for swine and yields about twelve pounds of pork per bushel. Wheat should be ground and moistened. dry wheat performs poorly. Ground mixtures of wheat and corn give best gains. barley is about 8 percent less valuable than cornmeal for 5 to 14 month old hogs. Pigs prefer soaked barley meal, oats in two thirds cornmeal, whole oats for brood sows, sorghum-seed meal about 55 percent of cornmeal, and pigeon grass mixed with cornmeal for some gains.
