The utilization of oat meal feed by growing, fattening swine in dry-lot

Wisconsin Experiment Station

Abstract

The domestic oat cereal industry processes about 40 million bushels of oats annually from which it obtains about 400 thousand tons of oatmeal and about 235 thousand tons of oat mill feed, most of which is sold to the livestock industry, largely by way of commercial mixed feeds.

Prior to 1926, definite information about the feed value of oat mill feed was entirely inadequate for either the judicious formulation or evaluation of feeds or rations containing it as an ingredient. At that time The Quaker Oats Company, the largest domestic oat cereal producer, purchased and provided for the equipment and operation of Monona Farm at Madison, Wisconsin, to determine the feed value of oat mill feed by means of feeding trials under the supervision of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. The results of one series of 5 of these trials, together with results of a series of 3 trials conducted by the Animal Husbandry Department of the Experiment Station independently, are given here.
