Hog losses And
Costs Reduced
nubile 1 Vi Y?Jrbook of Agriculture
published (by the United States Department
of Agriculture bee the following
to e?y regarding this subject:
In swine production the Mutation
and other improved practices recommended
have in many instances re^
UnU> to produce
a 420-pound hog from 3 or 10 months
to 0 or 7 month*. Adaption of sanitation
methods has also materially
reduced the losses of pigs from disease.
The average feed and labor
cost for the litter is therefore greatly
reduced and the net profits are increased
accordingly. -
Reports from 89 county agricultural
agents of Illinois showed -that
the average number of runty nigs
was reduced from 1 in 8 under the
o d plan of raising hogs to 1 in 86
under sanitary methods. The 314
cooperating farmers reported an average
saving of *H6.20 pcr iitter in
the cost of producing pork.
_On one f.rm in Green Lake County,
Wi. where eaniury methods were
not followed In 1926, ? sows farrowed
pigs, 41 of wfcich were lost due to
round worms. The remaining 56 averaged
only 180 pounds at 11 months
of age. In jft28 on the same farm
under sanitary conditions, 8 sows farrowed
02 pigs; no losses occurred
during the growing period; and the
02 pigs averaged 212pounds each at
6 months of age.
Iowa county agents reported 34,000
hogs raised in hog-lot sanitation
demonstrations carried on in cooperation
with the county agricultural
agents during 1328,
farmers of Kershaw county are interested
in this as hogs are more
and more becoming an important part
of their prgoram of production.
Live, awake farmers will pay attention
to this matter.
In ^raising hogs a few important
facts should be remembered:
Use Well-developed, typey sows.
Use well-developed pure-bred boars.
Have all hogs vaccinated against
cholera and then keep it up by vaccinating
each litter of pigs before
weaning (notify County Agent when
you want pigs and hogs vaccinated
and he will have a ?State Veterinarian
sent who charges only for the
serum and virus used). - Raise enough
corn and other feed crops for
bog?-*espeeially soy beans for grazing.
Feed some protein along with corn,
grazing crojip, etc.. This protein may
be in the form' of skim -milk or a mixture
of fish meal and cotton seed
meal half and half.
Keep the 'hogs and pigs well oiled
with old motor oil. Have pigs farrowed
and raised on sod free from
worms.
Breed the sows 'May 1st and November
1st. Gestation period in 113
days. Wean pigs at 60 days old.
Breed sows in 10 days after weaning.
Sell pigs at 6 to 7 months old
which will be un the March and Sop^
tenrVber markets. The pigs should
weigh around 2O0 pounds at 6 to 7
months of age.. No. 1 -hogs for the
Richmond market weigh from- 160 to
220 pounds.
Notify your county agpnt as soon
as you decide to put hogs on feed
for car shipment. Get your copy of
'VUIiVPln vn 'U. . ^
? ? r
If "we will give hogs the thought,
consideration and attention that we've
given cotton we will succeed with
hogs. For additional information on
hog production consult your -County
Agent, Henry D. Gi^een.
