In studies at Allied Mills’ Wayne Research and Development Center over the past year, Manager James Hedges also noted full feeding of sows will reduce MMA problems. The additional energy derived from full feeding will allow the sow enough energy to farrow normally and give excellent milk production, he explained. In the studies, two sow groups were used a fat supplemented group and a control group maintained on a full feeding program used for many years. All sows were full fed prior to farrowing and through lactation. The supplemental fat was fed starting seven days prior to farrowing and for one week past farrowing. The pig survival rate to weaning was the same for both groups. Hedges said the high fat rations basically increase the energy level to the sow prior to farrowing. This was accomplished in the control group by full feeding (where feed was before the sow at WHAT'S NEW 30-feet MF Combine Table 30-FOOTM COMBINE TABLE Massey-Ferguson has in troduced a 30-foot Quick- Attach rigid combine table to complement the high pro ductive capacity of the top of-the-line MF76O combine. The new 30-foot tables feature 22-inch augers with 10-inch slip clutches. Enlarg ed spacing between knife and table auger provides and more even feeding. This up-front design feature produces maximum capacity advantage from the 30-foot table m combination with the MF76O combine. The new table comes equipped with electrically controlled hydrostatic, variable-speed reel drive plus hydraulic table and reel lifts. The standard 30-foot reel has five bats, convertible to four or six.

In this study, the full feeding program resulted in an improvement in pig survival of 8.2% over restricted feeding. Total litter weaning weight also was improved. After farrowing, Hedges recommends the sow con tinue to be full fed. A good producing sow can give 18-20 lb. of milk daily so her nutrient requirements during this period are quite high, he added. Hedges also pointed out that the pig will have available a more uniform milk supply if the sow is full fed. Many producers currently feed the sow in the morning and at night. This results in high milk production immediately after the feeding and reduced milk production between feedings, Hedges explained. The pigs then over-consume at times and do not receive adequate milk intake at other times, he noted. This uneven milk supply predisposes pigs 'to scours, Hedges said. “Many producers confuse this so-called milk scours as being too much milk production,” he added. “The problem is not too much milk but uneven milk supply.” * six-inch bats can be added to make 12-inch bats for milo.
