Extract

The results are described of twenty-two experiments carried out on the feeding of bacon pigs at different centres throughout Great Britain, in the course of which nearly 400 pigs were fed according to three different scales of rationing. All the pigs were fed on the same scale until reaching 100 lb. live weight, when they were eating 4 lb. of meal per head per day. From this stage three different levels of feeding were followed; in each case the daily allowance reached a maximum when the pigs were 170 lb. live weight. The amounts being fed were then: 7 lb. 8 oz., 6 lb. 5 oz. and 5 lb. 3 oz. per head per day respectively.
