Way to Sava Protein
Costs In Raising Pigs
Expire Kv PPA
BY JIMMV SHIELDS
You o»n mvo 91 in nrotoln cost*
for esch how you send to market
'next veer if vou supplement with
the trace minerals, vitamins, and
antibiotics that have been develon-
ed in the Inst three years. This
saving can be made through a re-
duction in protein level.
Under the old fepding levels, it
required 140 pounds .of 40 per
cent protein to raise a market
hog from weaning to 200 pounds.
New balanced rations require only
75 pounds of 40 per cent protein
plus 272 grams of trace minerals,
173 grams of vitamins, aru} three
grams of antibiotics.
Protein rations recommended in
the past probably were supplying
in addition t.o protein, other things
hogs needed such as water solu-
able vitamins and trace minerals.
It now is more practical to add
certain vitamins and minerals di-
rectly than to feed extra protein
to supply them.
To put the new low protein
rations to use on your own farm,
you can choose from the below
plans:
1. Grind your grain an<J mix it
with a balanced supplement to
get a protein level that fits sue
of your hogs.
2. Buy a manufactured supple-
ment that has palatability regulat-
ed so that the pig will balance
his ration at the correct protein
level under self feeding. This is
the easiest plan, but the manufac-
turer must produce a formula that
keeps pigs from either over or
under eating.
3. Mix your own supplement by
using a reliable antibiotic-vitamin
premix and trace minerals. Blend
these with your own grain in a
formula recommended by the ex-
tension service.
Suckling pigs will thrive on a
Jow protein ration, too, if it is
supplemented with antibiotics,
minerals, andi vitamins.

(Hog eholera ia , a devastating
Uveatock disease that has .caused
enormous economic losses in the
United States for over a century.
The losa of hogs by this disease
in the United States has amounted
to as much aa 65 million dollars
in a single year.
Hog chloera ia a highly con-
tagious disease. It sometimes af-
fects hogs at all ages and there
ia not much chance of them re-
covering.
iffogs that have the disease
cough, lag in thair bed, nausea sod

may wobble when they' walk. They
may die on* after the other or
. they may all die at once.
Sanitation, proper feeding, and
good care are of the greatest im-
portance irr keeping hogs healthy.
You should never use the same
hog lot, or an old lot for hogs.
The disease is hard to get rid of
once you have it on your property.
You should never vaccinate with
Ibhe virus, unless you have the
disease on your property!. You
can use anti-hog-cbolera serum,
Which immunises for a year.
$''• Always be careful of buying
hogs far away from home or in
another state. If you are going
to buy hogs, try to buy them from
some one ydu know, be sure to
look for the symptoms.
Hog chorera has been under in-
vestigation by the United States
Department of Agriculture since
1878. It was finally found out that

and
is caused by bacterium, or bacillus
resembling the germ that causes
typhoid fever in man. But, later
studies, by the Bureau of Animal
Husbandry, however, proved that
this germ is not the true cause
of the disease and established the
fact that it is caused by a virus.
That is the reason that if you
vaccinate with the virus, you
spread the disease over your pas-
ture, and thereafter you will have
to vaccinate.
DOING SHOP WORK—An important part of the local
is shop work ir. which students build useful
