Fortified milo for gestating sows

Abstract

Forty sows (Yorkshire, Hampshire, and Duroc) were used to study effects of feeding a milo diet fortified with vitamins and minerals (FM) to bred sows from approximately 25 days after breeding to 10 days before farrowing. The sows were fed in this manner for three gestation periods. Control sows received a balanced milo-soybean meal diet (MSB) throughout gestation.
