Almost all live-stock losses are due directly to 

 mistakes. You may be making mistakes right 

 now and not know of it. Here are just a few of 

 the most common ones that it will pay you to avoid. 



Never feed a pregnant sow straight 



corn. C^orn is a fat producing food, lacking in 

 tissne-forming elements. A sow carrying pigs is 

 not laying on fat but building new tissue in the 

 form of her unborn pigs. 



Don't sell aborting cows if they are 



good individuals. If the cow is at all valuable, 

 keep her, for after a cow has aborted two or three 

 times she usually becomes immune. 



Nftver remove retained afterbirth by- 

 force. This tears the lining membranes of the 

 uterus, allowing germs to get into the blood, and 

 causing blood poisoning. 



Milk from herds in which abortion is 

 present should never be fed to pregnant 



sows. It will cause abortion in the sow. If, 

 however, it has first been heated to the boiling 

 point, it can be given to the sow with safety. 



Never allow anyone to stay within 

 sight of a mare that shows signs of 



foaling. Animal has a natural aversion to any- 

 one being present during delivery. Only give the 

 mare assistance when she has shown that she 

 cannot drop the foal by herself.
