The Preparation of the Grain Sorghums and Other Small Grains for Fattening Swine

Carl P. Thompson, Professor of Animal Husbandry

Oklahoma A. & M. College

Abstract

The State of Oklahoma being located outside of the Corn Belt makes the problem of swine feeding somewhat different from that in the strictly Corn-Belt States. The importance of the grain sorghums in the State is indicated by the fact that almost 50 per cent as many bushels of grain sorghums are produced as corn. A report of the State Board of Agriculture shows that there are grown annually in the State of Oklahoma in the neighborhood of 35,000,000 bushels of grain sorghums and a little less than 80,000,000 bushels of corn. In addition to this there are 2,000,000 bushels of barley grown, the larger part of which is fed to hogs. Taking these facts into consideration, we find the problem of small grain feeding an important one. The principal grain sorghums grown in the State that are available for hog feeding are kafir corn, milo maize, feterita, and darso.
