Fattening Pigs in the Dry Lot 



247 



At the Ohio Experiment Station, 1 two series of experi- 

 ments were conducted for the purpose of comparing 

 skim-milk and tankage as supplements to corn, and of 

 determining the best proportion of skim-milk to feed with 

 corn. Both trials were under dry Jot conditions. In the 

 lots where the corn and skim-milk were fed, ad libitum, 

 the corn was given twice daily and the skim-milk three 

 times. With each feed they were given all they would 

 take in two hours. The results of the two trials ara 

 averaged and appear in Table XCIV.

 CORN FOR FATTENING PIGS (Av. 2 Exps.) 



In each experiment the lots fed the skim-milk made 

 considerably faster gains than those fed the tankage.
