Most pigs are not pampered — in fact, most pigs 

 do not get enough attention. 409^^ of aH pigs 

 farrowed die before tfiey are weaned, according 

 to U.S.D.A. figures. That is almost half! This is 

 a loss which can largely be avoided through 

 proper care and feeding. 



Larger and heavier litters are produced through 

 careful feeding of the sow before and after far- 

 rowing and a definite feeding program for the 

 pigs. Experimental feeding has definitely proved 

 the need for extra amounts of nutrients, particu- 

 larly vitamins, during these periods.

and the rich milk required for the pigs' first weeks of life. It is 

 rich in vitamins, proteins and minerals. 



When pigs are from two to three weeks old, they will need to 

 supplement their milk diet with other feed, particularly if the 

 litter is large. Blue Seal Pig Supplement should be placed in a 

 self-feeder in the creep along with farm grains. This supplement 

 supplies the added nutrients required during this important 

 growth period. The pigs will need this highly fortified feed until 

 they reach 75 pounds weight. 



These special Blue Seal Feeds are available from the authorized 

 Blue Seal Feed distributor in your county.
