Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the comparative results of two feeding standards for swine. The author, an agricultural expert, conducted a six-month experiment involving two groups of six pigs each, one group fed according to the Wolff and Lahmann standard, and the other according to the standard devised by Professor Wm. Dietrich. The author meticulously recorded feed intake, weight gain, and feed costs for each group over the experimental period. The findings demonstrate that pigs fed according to the Dietrich standard outperformed those fed by the Wolff and Lahmann method, gaining more weight at a lower cost per pound. The author concludes that the Dietrich standard is superior for promoting efficient weight gain and profitability in swine production.
