WILL INCREASE YOUR FEEDING PROFITS
Biff, strong healthy pigs at birth mean more
pigs weaned. And the more pigs you wean,
the greater your hog profits. If you wean an
average of 9 pigs per litter your cost per pig
is going to be a lot smaller than if you wean
only 6 pigs per litter because you still have to
feed and care for the sow regardless of how
many she weans.
Is balanced feeding important with sows? IT CER
TAINLY IS! You wouldn’t expect a hatching flock
to do well if they did not receive a well-balanced
hatching ration. The same applies to brood sows.
Tests prove that balanced-fed sows WEAN on the
average up to 3 extra pigs per litter compared to
straight grain-fed sows.
Come in and see us about SHUR-GAIN Sow Ration
—a Balanced feed for sows. Or if you have your own
grain we can! make a completely balanced sow ration
for you using SHUR-GAIN Sowmix Concentrate.
