Lean Pigs Made Cheapest Gains
Does it take any more feed to
produce a lean pork than a pound
of fat? Records from the feeding
stations for the Advanced Registry
of Swine present some interesting
conclusions on this much debated
subject.
These records, for ,the period
from March, 1952, to January 15,
1954, cover 722 sows with four pigs
tested from a litter from each sow,
or a total of 2,888 pigs. All the pigs
were slaughtered as they reached
a weight to yield carcasses of about
145-155 pounds. They were scored
under the Advanced Registry scor-
ing system, which has been set up
to give high scores to lean carcass-
es.
Under this system . of scoring.
the 722 litters represented divided
about equally -360 to 362—between
;hose wihose' four pigs had an av-
erage score between 75 and '10i)
points and those in which the four
pigs had an average score under
75 points. The average spore, for
all the high -scoring groups was 81.5
points, and that for the low -scoring
groups was 66.4 points.
The high -scoring groups mad the
low -scoring groups averaged within
a pound of the same weight both at
the start of the test and at time of
slaughter, and there was not more
than a day or two between them
in the number of days on test. All
got an identical feed' ration fed in
self -feed hoppers, with fresh water
always available.
How did the feed required per
pound of gain in weight compare?
For the 102 days the pigs 'were
on test, the 362 low -scoring groups
required 3'63 pounds of feed for
each 100 pounds they gained in
weight. The .high -scoring groups
required only 360 pounds of feed
for each 100 pounds they gained in
weight. The high -scoring groups re-
quired only 360 pounds of feed for
each 100 pounds they gained in
weight. Thus the pigs producing
the highest proportibn of lean meat
did so on slightly Less feed than
those that were scored down be -
World Battle Against
TB Gains Momentum
Medical ills as well as economic
ills are responsible for underdevel-
oped economies. A concrete ex-
ample' can be found in countries
where tuberculosis is still known
as the "white plague."
Tuberculosis has been found to
be one of the causes of low pro-
ductivity in many mining and rural
areas in underdeveloped nations,
especaailyl in countries in the Far
East, Latin America and Africa.
Investigators who have surveyed
these areas have discovered a high
TB incidence among the population
and little, if anything, being done
to remedy the situation.
But the 'fight against "the white
plague" in these countries has gain-
ed momentum in recent years, es-
pecially since the establishment of
the United 'Nations• and its agency
known. as the United Nations
Chileleen•'s Fund (UNICEF). The
fund was established in 1946 as an
emergency agency primarily to
help war -ravaged. countries to feed,
clothe and provide medical care for
destitute children and mothers.
Later, it broadened its work to in-
clude und,erdeveloped countries.
Now established as a permanent
agency, the Fund looks forward' to
long-term programs that will bene-
fit the world's children. Among
these will be active campaigns
against TB.
Much has been done—but much
remains to be done, too. UNICEF
and the World' Health Organiza-
tion 'have worked together in the
struggle against tuberculosis. BOG
vaccine has been provided to mere
than 22,000,000 children throughout
the world. Anti -tuberculosis vaccin-
ation campaigns are now undeer-
way, with UNICEF assistance, in
33 countries and territories from
Burma to Libya and from Paraguay
to the Caribbean Island' of St. Kitts.
India provides an outstanding ex-
ample of the vast action which has
been set into motion by UNICEF
in its crusade against the "white
plague." India has launched what
has been termed "one of the most
ambitions experiments in medical
history" whereby this nation, with
the assistance of UNICEF, plans to
vaccinate 170,000,000 persons --all
of its .population under 20 years of
age with anti -tuberculosis vaccine
within a period' of seven years
UNICEF's symbol, stencilled on
crates of dried millk, on consign-
ments of BOG vaccine, on the aides
gf jeeps carrying DDT teams, which
Tielp rid villages of malaria and
typhus, has become a welcome
sight in underdeveloped countries
of both hemispheres. As one dele-
gate put it; "In many countries,
UNICEF is the United Nations."

cause they carried too high a per-
centage of fat.
A comparison of the two groups
under the carcass or rail grading
system shows the same results.
When the carcasses of both gaoups
were graded, the high -scoring group
had an average of 84.97 per
Grade A's; the lbw -scoring group
an average of 50.2 per cent. This
would indicate that even the low -
scoring group was of reasonably
good bacon type. Within this group
however, were 55 litters with a low
average score under 59 points. Of
the 220 pigs from these 55 litters,
only 23 per cent qualified as Grade
A's. They, carried the bdghest pro-
portion of fat to Iean of any of
the litter groups• under test, yet
their average feed consumption per
100 pounds of gain was 364 pounds
or no less than either of the other
groups.
The ration feed consisted of bar-
ley, wheat and oats, mixed in the
proportion of 50 pounds of •barley,
20 pounds of wheat and 30 pounds

In his presidential address, E. F.
Pineau, Canada Department of Ag-
riculture, Ottawa, stated: "Signifi-
cant in 1953 was a noticeable
of oats. To this was added a pro-
tein -mineral supplement. The sup-
plement was fed at the rate of 15
per cent of the supplement to 85
per cent of the grail' mixture for
the growing period — up to 112
pounds per pig; and eight per cent
of the supplement to 92 per cent
of the grain mixture until market-
ed.
These figures indicate that in
this group of 208 pigs, fed at
feeding stations distributed. across
Canada, there was no difference in
the feed cost to produce a pound
of lean meat or a pound of fat, us-
ing the same feeds commonly avaii-
alble to any hog producer.
