Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Various Swine Questions 
I have about 400 lbs. of feed I fed to 
my bogs, made as follows: 200 lbs. rye 
food, what is left after the flour is taken 
out; 200 l!is. wheat bran; 100 lbs. oil 
meal: 100 lbs. digester tankage. I got 
rid of m.v hogs after mixing this batch 
of feed, and am wondering whether I 
can feed this batch of feed to young 
heifers, some yearlings, others to freshen 
in the Spring, by mixing some other 
feed or just as it is. Would it be suitable 
for horses? Do not think it should lie 
fed to hens, as rye causes digestive dis¬ 
orders. Last year I had an extra lot of 
rye so had it ground and mixed as fol¬ 
lows; 200 lbs. rye; 200 lbs. wheat bran; 
100 lbs. oilmeal and 100 lbs. digester 
tankage. I fed 4S quarts of this per day 
to nine pigs from July 1 to December 2. 
They were shut in a small pen ; no past¬ 
il re except it few weeds from the garden, 
and no corn. They averaged 124 lbs. 
each. The butcher I sold them to has 
been after me ever since to raise more 
pork like them. He would pay 2c per 
lb. more than market price as his patrons 
demand more. Was it the feed or breed? 
They were Chester White and Duroc- 
Jersey cross. G. l. s. 
The combination of rye and bran, oil 
meal and tankage, mixed in the propor¬ 
tion given, would not be suitable for 
feeding to any animals except hogs and, 
as a matter of fact, it would be a very 
expensive ration to use in swine feeding. 
The amount of digester tankage or oil 
meal that should be incorporated in any 
ration should not be more than ten per 
cent; hence you will see that you have 
been feeding an extravagant amount of 
protein. Also wheat bran is not desirable 
in a ration for pigs, as it is relatively 
coarse and more or less constipating. I 
would suggest that you mix 800 lbs. of 
ground oats and 300 lbs. of cornmeal 
with this ration. It might .safely be fed 
to poultry. Dairy cows might eat this 
combination, yet digester tankage is not 
palatable to them. I appreciate the 
fact that rye is not used in very many 
rations for feeding poultry; nevertheless 
the small amount in this ration would not 
produce disastrous results. 
The reason why the butchers are anxious 
to secure more pork from pigs fed in 
this manner is due to the fact that you 
undoubtedly had lean carcasses, due to 
feeding extravagant amounts of protein. 
It is my judgment that you could not 
afford to feed such a ration to pigs and 
sell them even at two cents above the 
prevailing market price, and get a new 
dollar for an old one. What you would 
want to make this ration useful for swine 
feeding would be the addition of 500 lbs. 
of corn and 300 lbs. of hominy meal. 
Rations for Cows and Swine 
1. Will you give me a grain ration for 
cows for Winter? I have corn and cob 
meal and ground oats; some buckwheat; 
would like ration built around these 
grains. When buckwheat is gone, what 
can I substitute? Have Timothy hay,* 
corn stover and straw, which I shall cut 
together and feed with molasses. I also 
have a quantity of table beets and car¬ 
rots. some pea vine hay and cabbage to 
feed. 2. Is corn and cob meal suitable 
for pigs? F. d. K. 
1. Assuming that you have grade cows 
weighing around 1,000 lbs. and that they 
are producing an average of 10 tits, per 
day, you will find the following ration 
well suited for your use: 4(H) lbs. corn 
and cob meal, 200 lbs. ground oats, 200 
lbs. buckwheat middlings, 200 lbs. cotton¬ 
seed, 300 lbs. gluten. 200 lbs. oilmeal, 100 
lbs. wheat bran. When the buckwheat is 
exhausted you can add 125 lbs. of ground 
oats for each 100 lbs. of buckwheat. If 
the cows are in good condition the feeding 
of molasses on the cut stalks or hay 
would no doubt increase their flow of 
milk, and of course this arrangement 
would greatly increase the amount of 
roughage that they would consume. Some¬ 
times this is a large amount, especially 
where you have an abundance of rough- 
age, and provided the cows are large and 
vigorous and have plenty of constitutional 
vigor and capacity, such as will enable 
them to consume and digest the excess 
roughage advantageously. With the va¬ 
riety of succulent feeds that you have you 
ought to keep up a rather constant flow of 
milk. 2. Gorn-and-cob meal is not adapted 
for swine feeding. The one thing that 
pigs requir is a grain ration containing a 
small percentage of fiber, and, as there are 
no digestible nutrients in corncobs, there 
is no use in tormenting a pig with this 
coarse, bulky material. It would be far 
better to feed the corn on the ear rather 
than go to the expense of grinding it and 
demanding that they attempt to digest the 
corncobs. A mixture of 00 lbs. corn, 30 
lbs. oats, 5 lbs. digester tankage and 5 
lbs. cornmeal will make you a well-bal¬ 
anced ration for growing pigs.
