1. A bunch of pigs 4 months old are fed the following ration: 3 pounds 

 corn meal, 1 pound wheat middlings, 10 pounds skim milk. 



Is it a balanced ration? If not, what changes would you suggest? 



2. Two-months old pigs are fed a slop of water and 6 parts corn meal, 

 3 parts middlings, and 1 part tankage. How does this ration compare in
