Pork Production 



In two series of experiments at the Indiana Experi- 

 ment Station in 1917-18, Skinner and Starr ^ made four 

 comparisons of different corn feed meals with corn for 

 fattening well-grown shotes in the dry lot. In each trial 

 the corn was ground . The rations in all cases were supple- 

 mented with tankage, the feeds being supplied in separate 

 compartments of a self-feeder. The summarized results 

 are shown in Table CXLIII. 



Table CXLIII. — Corn Feed Meal versus Corn-Meal for 

 Fattening Pigs 



(Av. 4 trials) 



The three brands of corn feed meal in the first experi- 

 ment gave very uniform results. In every case the pigs 

 fed this corn substitute gained a little faster than they did 

 on corn, while the average amount of feed required to 

 produce 100 pounds of gain was also less. These results 

 indicate that corn feed meal is practically equal to corn 

 when fed under the conditions of this experiment. 



Corn germ meal. 



This by-product was formerly referred to as germ oil 

 meal, which is obtained in the manufacture of starch,
