Soybeans and Soybean Oilmeal as Supplements to Corn for Hogs

Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Extravagant claims are sometimes made concerning the value of soybeans for swine, especially as a substitute for tankage when the beans are grown with corn that is to be hogged down. In view of this it may not be amiss to report the findings of a series of investigations conducted to determine their worth when used in various ways.

Hogging down tests made at the Ohio Station in 1920 and 1921 included a study of the supplemental value of soybeans grown with corn to serve as a complete and as a partial substitute for tankage. In 1920 brown beans of the Ohio 9035 variety were seeded in the rows with a hand planter just after the corn was drilled. At the time the shotes plants were still green, the beans in the lower pods were fairly hard, were turned in the fields, although some of the upper leaves of the To accustom the pigs to the taste of the beans their grain feed was reduced and plants were pulled and kept before them prior to the beginning of the test.
