By-products offer lower feed costs for pork producers
NEWARK, DE - Pork
producers are looking for ways to
cut feed costs these days. Some are
doing this by using cheaper grains
like barley to replace some or all of
the corn in hog rations. Some are
also thinking about using food
industry by-products.
“Many of these by-products are
excellent sources of nutrients and
offer an opportunity for reducing
feed cost,” says University of
.Delaware extension livestock
specialist Dr. Ken Kephart. But, he
warns, others are less practical.
Here are some of the factors he
says growers should consider
before feeding such by-products.
- PALATABILITY. One of the
first questions to ask is, will the
hogs eat the by-product? Even if
the material is available free of
cost, i f ’s of no value if the pigs
leave it in the feeder.
- NUTRIENT CONTENT. What
nutrients will the by-product
provide? Does nutrient content
vary? How much water does it
contain?
HANDLING. How will you get
it from the source to the farm? And
how will you get it to the pigs?
COST. Free feed may get
quite expensive when tran
sportation costs are considered.
This is especially true when it
contains a lot of water.

Dairy donations changed
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture has
transfered major ac
tivities of the federal
program to donate
government-owned su
rplus dairy products to
needy people in foreign
countries to the Agency
for International
Development, ac
cording to Under
Secretary of
Agriculture Daniel G.
Amstutz.
The transfer does not
affect the domestic
dairy donation
program.
Amstutz said the
change will take ad
vantage of AID’S in
ternational capacity to
administer the
program. USDA will
retain the responsibility
for determining the
types and quantities of
dairy products and the
level of funds available
for payment for donated
dairy products,
processing, domestic
transporting and
overseas freight, where
appropriate, to export
the products, he said.
Authority for both
domestic and foreign
donations of dairy
products is contained in
Section 416 of the
Agricultural Act of 1949.
Since USDA signed
the first agreement this
year, donations of dairy
products now total over
83,000 tons, going to 14
countries. Such
donations have been
made through foreign
governments and public
and nonprofit private
humanitarian organiz
ations.
Under provisions of
the transfer, all new
proposals for Section 416
agreements will be
handled by AID’S
Bureau for Food for
Peace and Voluntary
Assistance, 320 21st St.,
N.W., Washington, D.C.
by-product, bacterial' con
tamination is a potential problem.
And daily feeding may be
necessary to prevent spoilage.
-TOXINS. Find out why the
material is being discarded as a
by-product. Be sure there are no
substances in it which may cause
problems. For example, milk
products may contain high levels
of antibiotics.
- EFFECTS ON CARCASS
QUALITY. Will feeding the
product produce an oily carcass or
one with an off odor?
- EFFECTS ON PEFOR
MANCE. How much of the by
product can you feed before per
formance is changed?
Bakery waste, liquid whey,
waste fat, meat by-products and
fruits and vegetables are some of
the by-products usually fed to
swine. Each has both advantages
and disadvantages.
Bakery by-products, crackers,
cookies, pretzels and potato chips,
are probably the best kind
available. They’re very palatable,
Kephart says. They provide
limited amounts of protejn but are
high in energy similar'to that of
corn. And they can be mixed in
conventional rations with no major
changes in feed handling. Most
processors offer these by-products
free of charge.
One disadvantage to consider is
salt levels which could be a

problem if they are used to replace
more than 40 percent of the grain
in a ration.
Liquid whey is available from
many dairy processors because of
its high drying cost. If the distance
to the dairy is not excessive and a
handling system can be developed,
liquid whey can provide a high
percentage of a hog’s nutrient
requirements, the specialist says.
Recent studies have indicated that
when pigs are offered whey instead
of water, a ground com ration
fortified only with vitamins and
minerals will supply all the
nutrients they need. This
eliminates the need for soybean
meal.
One disadvantage is that this
material is perishable and must be
fed daily. Transportation and
handling make it impractical for
many swine operations to use
whey.
Waste fat contains two and a
quarter times the calories of either
protein or carbohydrate, so it’s an
excellent energy source. Pigs
consuming high fat rations usually
have a better feed conversion and
faster growth rate. However, if the
oil is unsaturated, adding more
than 10 to 15 percent to the ration
will make the carcass oily. Oils
also may turn rancid during
storage. And if the fat is saturated,
special equipment often is needed
to incorporate it into the ration.
Meat by-products, unless they
are cooked and dried, always bring
with them the possibility of bac-

terial contamination, especially
Salmonella, , Kephart says. But
they are high in protein, and any
bone present, provided it’s finely
ground, will be a good source of
calcium and phosphorus. Un
fortunately, the bone content often
varies, so mineral content varies
as well.
In a few situations, fruits and
vegetables such as bananas,
potatoes or sweet potatoes can be
successfully fed to pigs. All these
materials have a low protein
content and contain a lot of water.

“Food industry by-products can
be a significant part of your
feeding program,” Kephart says.
“But before you get into them in a
big way, make sure you know all
you can about the material that’s
available. Have it analyzed. Be
sure it’s practical for your
operation. And use a little at first
on a limited number of large
hogs.”
