specialist at the University of
Delaware, wheat at $1.25 per
bushel (the price on July 15,
1967) would give the same feed
value as corn at $l.lO per bush
el. Since, at the present time,
wheat is selling- for approxi
mately 20 cents a bushel less
than corn, it is an economical
substitute feed.

Wheat should be coarsely
ground and mixed with a bulky
concentrate since it is a very
heavy feed. For best results,
wheat should make up only a
third of the concentrate. How
ever, if used with plenty of
legume hay for roughage,
wheat can be used successfully

Ayrshire breeders from

Canada journeyed to Topsfield,

Ayrshires sold for an average

“Research suggests that swine
will gain as rapidly when fed
ground wheat with a protein
supplement as they will on
corn, according to Dr. George
Morrow, extension livestock
specialist Because wheat con
tains more protein than com,
slightly less supplement is
needed. Although wheat-fed
pigs eat a little more grain
than corn per hundred pounds
of gain, bacon is firmer from
wheat-fed pigs
Grinding is advisable when
swine are hand-fed, but it is
not necessary if wheat is fed
in self-feeders, Morrow points
out. It is best to mix wheat
with other grains
