Animals are submitted regularly for slaughter inspection to determine any turbinate damage. No obvious signs of rhinitis have been seen in the pigs. Another study compared two iron injections in pigs on the third and 17th day as compared to one oral ap plication. “We found that not all There are smiles all operation on research KELLER BUILDINu GLENN M.

The naval cords are sprayed with iodine at three days, along with clipping needle teeth and tails. Waiting until the third day helps to reduce stress on the small pigs, according to Dr. Pearl. Worming is also still done despite the confinement. For breeding, the farm uses a module crate and pen system - five crates to a boar pen. Between each sow module is one for gilts. “We’ve found that one of the problems of confinement is getting the gilts stimulated to come into heat,” Dr. Pearl said. “Anything that can be done, such as putting the gilts between the sows and around as Agway sales study group discusses ethanol still farm. 1818 GRAIN BIN -4173 Bushel Capacity LESS THAN *2oso°° F. 0.8.

Sow reproductive records show 727 animals with 10.9 pigs farrowed per litter, birth weight of 2.96 lbs., 79.1 percent weaning rate and weaned weight of 12.23 lbs. “We wean at three weeks,” according to Dr. Pearl, “and find less com petition among the younger pigs. One area of future research will be a feeding prpgram concentrating on that first week of weaning when the pig is going from liquid to solid food.” Another research trial is trying the substitution of sunflower meal for a portion of the soybean meal foi IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ASK YOUR A6RI BUILDS ABOUT ASCS FINANCING Two new boars, in foreground, just purchased for breeding sti by group. Three different treatments include substituting a quarter, half and three quarters of the meal. “We’re early in these tests, but it appears that the sunflower meal has some effect on helping to control scours,” Dr. Pearl said. “It appears to be better digested by the small pigs.” Some tests have also been conducted on the feeding of high fat diets. There appears to be a six to seven percent improvement in the utilization of feed with the high fat, but the cost per pound of gam is mcreased. The research farm also has a small operating still, making 100-proof ethanol from corn. Two diesel tractors on the farm have been converted for its use.
