SWINE FATTENING

There is a mixture selected from such materials as skim milk, whey, barley and maize meals, wheat middlings and fish meal for pigs fattening.

A mixture of foods is always preferable because of probable defects in constitution of the plant proteins in any single food­stuff. This rather important fact applies to all kinds of farm livestock as well as in feeding pigs. Pig meals are more effective when not cooked before. A little milk or whey is valuable. A little green forage each day is desirable to guard against lack of vitamins.

Young pigs, in relation to food eaten, are more economical meat producers than the old ones. As animals become fatter, they become less and less profitable, and yield an ever smaller return in proportion to food consumed.

In fattening all classes of stock, and particularly with pigs which are usually hand-fed, man gets the most profitable results by forcing the feeding. If a pig becomes 100 lbs weight in 5 months Instead of 7, there is clear gain of 2 months in the food which it would have spent on maintenance.
