Too often, he says, feed cost per ton is the basis for selecting a feed, with no con sideration given to cost per pound of gam or days to market. Yet, in today’s economy no producer can afford to ignore these factors When profit margins are narrow, it may sometimes pay to switch to less expensive feeds. But this should never involve skimping on the vitamins and minerals required by the pig. Instead, adjust ! M> GAP AUCTION ] ■ FRIDAY EVE.

Martin Auctioneers 717-733-3305 - 717-733-3511 Ephrata,»Pa. Food 41 Auction Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 31,1981— D23 protein levels according to gram prices, advises Fowler. At present, with soybean meal prices near $3OO a ton and com around $3.80 a bushel, protein levels shoud be at 16 per cent for the 40 to 100 pound pig; 14 percent for the 100 to 175 pound range; and 13 percent for the 175 pound to market weight hog. When feed costs are high in comparison to hog prices, the way to maximize profit is to market animals at weights no greater than 230 pounds, adjust protein levels, keep feeders adjusted, and buy good boars. Don’t try to alter the vitanm and mineral content of your swine ration. In other words, don’t offer a 40-pound pig a 13 percent protein finisher feed formulated for a 175 pound to market weight hog The vitamin and mineral levels of the finisher ration don’t meet the needs of the younger animal. Protein is built from ammo acids. Soybean meal contains those essential for pgs. In most swine diets the last 100 pounds of soybean meal is present to supply lysine - one of these ammo acids. It’s sometimes practical to substitute lysine directly. In making the substitution, 2.75 pounds of pure lysme and 97.25 pounds of com can replace 100 pounds of 44-percent soybean meal per ton of diet. Fowler recom mends that not over 100 pounds of 44-percent soybean meal be replaced per ton of diet. Research has shown that performance on the replacement diet is similar to performance on soybean meal, he says. The economics of the substitution depend on the price of lysme, corn, and soybean meal Feed costs represent 60 to 80 percent of total swine production costs.
