W. E. Dinusson, E. W. Klosterman, E. L. Lasley and M. L. Buchanan

North Dakota Agricultural College

Abstract

1. Cobalt supplementation increased significantly the rate of gain in growing-fattening swine.
2. Addition of 5% meat scraps to a corn-soybean meal type ration increased significantly the rate of gain; the greatest increase was noted in the pigs which also received cobalt.
3. Inclusion of excellent quality dehydrated alfalfa as 5% of the ration depressed significantly the rate of gain of growing-fattening pigs.
