GRAIN FOR HOGS on PASTURE
Full Feed Is Not Economical Whers
Grass Is PIentiful-Some Protein
Feed Favored.

Hogs on pasture require grain for
greatest profit in pork production, but
full feed is not economical when pas
ture is plentiful and grain high-priced
When corn alone is fed limited ra
tion is considerably cheaper because
the forage crop takes the place Of
much of the grain.
Some protein feed, such as tankage
or skim milk. is recommended to be
fed in small quantity along With corn
and pasture to pigs weighing less than
100 pounds. Pork production is usual
ly too expensive when sIch feeds are
given to large hogs, ESPECIALLY if they
are on such pasture as Italia. clover,
rape or soy beans, ali of which are
high in protein.
