USDA Adopts Official Grade
Standards For Feeder Pigs
The U.S. Department of Agri
culture has announced the adop
tion of revised standards for
grades of feeder pigs, effective
April 1.
The new standards coordinate
the grades for feeder pigs with
the 1968 revision in the grades
for slaughter swine and for bar
rows and gilt carcasses.
Essentially, the standards are
the same as those proposed on
November 22, 1968, according
to officials of USDA’s Consum
er and Marketing Service. A
few minor revisions based on
comments received by USDA on
the proposal were made to
aid clarity and unformity in in
terpretation of the standards
The revised standards provide
