Fattening Pigs in the Dry Lot 



247 



At the Ohio Experiment Station/ two series of experi- 

 ments were conducted for the purpose of comparing 

 skim-milk and tankage as supplements to com, and ef 

 determining the best proportion of skim-milk to feed with 

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

 lots where the com and skim-milk were fed, ad liMtum, 

 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 are* 

 averaged and appear in Table XCIV. 



Table XCIV. — Different Proportions of Skim-Mils with 

 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.
