Swine Feeding - Historical Document 1925 12/14/2010
If you've read many of my posts you know I love old books on farming and especially pigs. I have a pretty good collection dating back as far as 1883. I've bid on books on some auction sites older than that but they end up being too rich for my blood! This document is dated 1925 but is revised so it probably was from an earlier work. It is titled Swine Feeding. It covers quite a bit of topics such as: Corn Rye Barley Oats Middlings Skim milk and buttermilk Linseed oil meal Soy bean oil meal Field peas Cull beans Alfalfa Good pasture Self feeding It even contains a table that shows several different types of pasture crops for pigs. Enjoy! Comments Comments are closed. | AuthorSpring Hill Farms ArchivesMay 2012 |
