THE OTHERS The Following Test Results were done by Maple Leaf Mills Research Centre under the supervision of R.F. (Rick) Welton, Director of Feed Research. These data indicate that pigs fed Masterfeeds H.P. Pig Starter pellets performed the best on the Filter Eeze slats. The poorest performance was observed in the group of pigs fed on the slotted metal floor. The same test was repeated with supplementary heat. Although the spread between Filter Eeze and steel flooring was not as great, con- sidering the cost of the heat, the Filter Eeze performance was tops again. e Item No. Pigs Initial wt. Ib. Final wt.
