Pork Production 



Table CXLVII. — Peanut Oil Meal and Unhulled Peanut 

 Oil Feed as Supplements to Milo 



The pork produced by the peanut rations was pro- 

 nounced satisfactory by the packers. As indicated by 

 the rate and economy of gains, the peanut feeds made an 

 excellent showing. That milo is too carbonaceous to 

 give good results when fed alone is strikingly shown by 

 comparing the gains on this ration with those made in 

 the lots in which protein supplements were fed. The fact 

 that the milo rations when balanced with peanut meal 

 or ground whole pressed peanuts produced faster gains 

 with less feed than the ration balanced with meat-meal 

 (tankage), is a strong testimony of the feeding value of 

 these by-products. No injurious or poisonous effects 

 whatever were noted among the pigs fed this proportion 

 of cottonseed meal. (See p. 317.)
