Evaluation of rations for pigs weaned at 3 or 4 weeks

Abstract

Wheat and corn-rolled oats in various physical forms compared with pigs weaned at 3 weeks of age. Rations of corn and rolled oats were compared with rations containing wheat. All rations were supplemented with protein, minerals, vitamins and antibiotics. The rations were fed in meal pelleted and crumble form. The basal rations are shown in Table 47. Pigs were weaned at approximately three weeks and fed in 5 x 8-foot farrowing stalls. Two pens of six pigs each were on each treatment. Feed and water were available at all times. The study was conducted 28 days. The results are show in Table 48.
