Extract

The results of digestion trials carried out some years ago in this Institute have led to the belief that at least 6–7 lb. of young, leafy grass is needed to replace 1 lb. of ordinary pig meal in the rations of bacon pigs. More recent farm-scale feeding trials at the Harper Adams Agricultural College have given rise to the conclusion that no more than 1¼ lb. of young grass is required for this purpose when the pigs are receiving, in addition to the grass, a basal allowance of 2½ lb. of balanced meal per head per day.
