They like it " a source of cheap, easily digestible energy. But corn has one big shortcom- ing: when overfed, it produces a fatty carcass. Farmers who self-feed corn and concentrate, run into this problem constantly. A pig slows down in growth after reaching 110 pounds, and tends to put extra energy into fat instead of meat. __ A LAUNCHING MS Animal Husbandry experts at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege are working on this pro- blem. They are carrying out tests to find out what levels of corn should be fed at the dif- ferent hog weights. The re. neachers also are trying to find out how much protein should be fed with corn and what level of low-energy oats is needed to cut down the "strength" of VIn one experiment, two n- tios of corn to out: were fed to growing pigs, Canada needs low-cost launching ramps uneettit,earagtrredetet' crate "p1anhn."

It is a national project worthy of the support of every man who goes boating. tics of corn to oats were ted, to hogs from 125 pounds to market weight. Pigs were also divided into two groups ac- cording to their level or pro- tein. The higher protein level was 17% protein to pigs up to " pounds; 15% protein from 75 to 125 pounds; and 13% protein to hogs between 125 and 200 pounds. The lower protein level was 14%to " pounds; 12% from " to 125 pounds; and 10% from 125 to 1200 pounds. Here are the re- ;sults: - Pigs on high protein gained 1/10 pound faster . 4.62 pounds per day compared to 1.52 pounds per day - - than_ pigs on low protein. The high-(pro tein pigs also cost less to eed and produced better carcasses than pigs on low protein feed- ing. The corn: oat ratio studies showed “There was some hone fit from including high levels of corn in the rations of pigs up to 125 pounds".
