Wheat Shorts 



In a 60-day trial at the New Hampshire Station, Shaw compared 

 wheat shorts with corn meal as a feed for 47-lb. pigs, obtaining the 

 results shown below: 



LOW-GRADE WHEAT SHORTS COMPARED WITH CORN 



In this trial the wheat shorts proved unsatisfactory for young pigs, 

 whether fed alone or with skim milk. They were doubtless ground 

 over bran with mill dust and sweepings added, judging by the results. 

 Such feed has little value compared with cost and should be avoided 

 by the pig feeder. 



Oats 



At the Wisconsin Station Henry fed whole and ground oats with 

 corn meal to 115-lb. pigs for 60 days with the following results: 



WHOLE OATS COMPARED WITH GROUND OATS 



We observe that the pigs getting whole oats ate less feed and gave 

 poorer returns than those fed ground oats. The best returns were 

 with a ration of one-third ground oats and two-thirds ground corn. 

 In both trials the feed requirements for 100 lbs. of gain were very 

 low where ground oats were used, showing the high value of ground 

 oats when combined with corn.
