CAUSES OF 63 PER CENT DEATH IN PIGS Deficiency of animal protein in the diet of growing pigs causes not only lack of growth and stunting, but also illness and death, An investigation carried out by the Dominion Veter- inary Research Station at Lethbridge indicates that 80 per cent of the ill- ness and 63 per cent. of tile deaths in the pigs examined were due primar- ily to lack of animal protein. The symptons of protein deficiency may develop in suckling pigs, but are most usually observed during the sec- ond or third months. Pigs which are doing well are noticed to be getting rough , and the skin becomes dry and scurfy. Growth is slow, gains Of ounces instead of pounds being noted. The owner frequently lays the blame on worms, but treatment for worms doesn't give relief. In some herds there may he no losses, in others a few animals may die, while in others: the losses may be 50 per cent or _mom- Pigs are seen which at 6 mouths, old weigh only 80 or 40 pounds:, When complications do not occur the• animals remain unthrifty for several. months. They are consequent months late in reaching market weight —200 to 215 pounds— and even them are lacking in quality and firtisk. Another point is that the use of um- properly fed sows for breeding pt poses is very likely to result in trouble in the suckling pigs. What is the pre- vention? It hinges on giving the•sopm an adequate diet containing S per cent animal protein and plenty or green feed or fish oil containing Vita,„ min A and minerals. It is not suffies-s lent to commence this diet towards the.. end of gestation. It must be earrivitt on throughout their whole li.Pess—froaze.4 the first feeding as suckling pigs.
