USE OF WHOLE MILK
FEEDING OF WEANER PIGS. It is reported from the Harper Adams College, United States, that the feeding of two quarts of whole milk per day to young pigs resulted in an increased growth rate of 42 per cent, as compared with pigs receiving the same ration without milk. Four pints of separated milk given under similar conditions gave an increased growth rate of 26 per cent. It is suggested that the one time during the feeding of pigs when whole milk can be used economically in comparison with skim is in the period just before and just after weaning, say up to about 451 b weight. Thereafter the balance of economy as between the two forms of milk changes rapidly in favour of separated.
