A dependable and economic source of feed is the backbone of
a profitable swine operation. Since 55 to 70% of the total cost
of swine production is feed, the pork producer should be aware of
all aspects of swine nutrition and commodity buying.
The pig is an efficient converter of feed to meat. Today's
meat-type hog can be produced using 3.3 lb. or less of feed per
pound of gain from 40 lb. to market. To obtain maximum feed util-
ization, it is necessary to feed well-balanced diets designed for
specific purposes.
Composition of Feedstuffs
Values for crude fiber (CF), metabolizable energy (ME),
crude protein (CP), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and five of the
amino acids most likely to be limiting are presented in Table 1
for the feedstuffs used in formulating the diets suggested in
this publication. Pork producers are cautioned, however, to
recognize that feedstuffs vary not only in nutrient content but
also in the availability of these nutrients. Table 1 lists aver-
age nutrient values for each feedstuff. When it is known that the
nutrient content of a particular feedstuff differs considerably
from that shown in Table 1, adjustments should be made in the
suggested diets, supplements and base mixes in Tables 3 through
20.
There are limits on the amounts of individual feedstuffs
that should be included in swine diets. PIH-3 Energy for Swine
lists suggestions on the recommended maximum amounts of various
feedstuffs for different classes of swine. Pork producers are
also cautioned to use only good quality feedstuffs, free of
molds, foreign materials etc. Animal performance may depend on
the quality of the feedstuff.
Dicalcium phosphate was used in all the diets as the major
source of Ca and P. Other calcium and phosphorus sources (Table
2) may be substituted for dicalcium phosphate. However, if a sub-
stitution is made, adjustments will be necessary since other
sources contain different levels of calcium and phosphorus and
the biological availability of phosphorus may differ from dical-
cium phosphate.
Sow Diets
The diets shown in Tables 3 and 4 are designed for both bred
and lactating sows. For the diets in Table 3, yellow corn is the
primary grain source; for those in Table 4, sorghum grain, bar-
ley, or wheat is the primary grain source.
For bred sows, it is suggested that diets be fed at a daily
level of 4 to 5 lb. per head. The exact level of feed during ges-
tation depends on weight, age, condition of the sow, method of
housing, age of pigs to be weaned, and climatic conditions or
environmental temperature. Sows should gain between 50 to 75 lb.
with gilts gaining 70 to 100 lb. during gestation. For bred
animals on good quality legume pasture (i.e. alfalfa or ladino),
2 to 3 lb. per head per day of one of the gestation diets
presented in Tables 3 or 4 may suffice.
During lactation, diets may be limit-fed during the first
few days following farrowing. Increase the daily feed gradually
to full-feed or slightly less by 5 to 7 days after farrowing. If
you feed one of the suggested diets that does not contain much
bulk (i.e. fiber), such as diets 1,2,6, and 7 (Table 3), consti-
pation may be a problem around farrowing time. If constipation is
a problem, substitute approximately 20% wheat bran or 10% dehy-
drated alfalfa meal and continue up to 1 week following farrow-
ing. Some producers avoid this problem by adding 20 lb. of mag-
nesium sulfate (Epsom salts) or 15 lb. of potassium chloride per
ton of diet.
Baby Pig Diets
Baby pig diets in Table 5 may be used as either creep or
starter diets. Diets 1 through 6 are formulated for pigs weighing
10 to 25 lb., while diets 7 through 12 are formulated for pigs
weighing 25 to 40 lb. Diet 7 is commonly called a simplified
starter since it is formulated around a corn-soybean meal base.
Pigs may not perform quite as well on this diet as compared with
performance on the more complex ones also shown in Table 5. How-
ever, the simplified diet may be more economical since it is
cheaper to mix and ingredient inventory requirements are less.
When postweaning scours are a problem, the substitution of 200 to
400 lb. of ground oats for corn or sorghum grain in diets 7, 8,
9, 10, and 12 (Table 5) for the first 2 or 3 weeks after weaning
may be helpful.
Growing Diets
The diets in Tables 6, 7, and 8 are designed for pigs weigh-
ing between 40 and 125 lb. Yellow corn is the primary energy
source for the diets in Table 6; whereas sorghum grain and barley
are the primary energy sources in Table 7. Table 8 contains vari-
ous grains blended with wheat as the primary energy sources.
Several diets in these tables contain fat or full-fat cooked soy-
beans. Since the metabolizable energy content is considerably
higher in these diets, the protein, lysine, calcium, and phos-
phorus content is also increased to provide a nutrient : calorie
ratio similar to the other diets.
Pigs may not gain as efficiently on barley diets as on corn
diets because of the lower energy and higher fiber content of
barley. Lightweight barley (less than 46 lb./bu.) contains more
fiber which may result in reducing energy consumption and rate of
gain. Pelleting of barley improves feed conversion regardless of
bushel weight. If bushel weight is greater than 46 lb., perfor-
mance of a pelleted barley diet should equal that of a ground
corn diet. Economics usually favor pelleting barley diets. Pigs
may also gain slightly less efficiently on sorghum grain diets as
compared to corn diets.
Dietary nutrient levels shown in the recommended growing and
finishing diets may need adjustment in the future if repartition-
ing agents such as porcine somatotropin or ractopamine are
approved for use.
Finishing Diets
Diets shown in Tables 9, 10, and 11 are formulated for pigs
weighing from 125 lb. to market weight and destined for
slaughter. Replacement gilts for the breeding herd should be
separated from the market pigs when weighing 150 to 200 lb. and
fed a sow diet presented in Tables 3 or 4. For diets shown in
Table 9, yellow corn is the primary grain source. As shown in
Table 10, barley or sorghum grain is the primary energy source.
Table 11 shows diets containing wheat or various grains blended
with wheat as the major grain source. The comments previously
made about barley and sorghum grain for growing swine also apply
to finishing swine.
Supplements
Some pork producers prefer to mix a supplement or have it
custom-mixed at a commercial feed mill and then later mix it with
grain. Suggested supplements for market hogs are shown in Table
12. It is impossible to formulate supplements with a fixed level
of calcium and phosphorous to use for all classes of hogs if we
want a balanced and economical diet at each stage of production.
Tables 13 and 14 have diets using the supplements from Table
12. The diets in Table 13 are for growing pigs (40 to 125 lb.).
The calcium levels are slightly higher than needed for growing
pigs; however, it is necessary to have the higher calcium level
when the same supplement (using a smaller amount) is used to meet
the calcium needs of finishing pigs in Table 14. The finishing
diets in Table 14 are designed for pigs weighing 125 lb. to
market weight.
Suggested supplements for sows are shown in Table 15. Table
16 contains sow diets using the supplements from Table 15.
Base Mixes
Another popular method of preparing swine diets is to pur-
chase or prepare on the farm a base mix (complete swine premix).
The base mix is then blended with ground grain and soybean meal
to make a complete diet. Suggested base mixes are shown in Table
17. Base mixes 1 and 2 are for growing and finishing swine while
base mixes 3 and 4 are for sow diets during gestation and lacta-
tion. Base mixes 1 and 3 are formulated to be added at the rate
of 60 and 80 lb. respectively; whereas, base mixes 2 and 4 are
designed for adding at the rate of 100 lb. per ton of complete
feed.
Formulas in Tables 18 and 19 are diets using base mixes from
Table 17. Those in Tables 18 and 19 show suggested growing, fin-
ishing, and sow diets using corn as the grain source while in
Table 19 sorghum grain is the primary grain source.
These suggested diets do not contain much fiber, therefore,
if constipation is a problem, follow the recommendations given in
the section titled ``Sow Diets.''
Vitamin and Trace Mineral Premix
The levels of vitamins and trace minerals in the diets, sup-
plements, and base mixes are based on the composition of the
premix in Table 20. Be sure to check the composition of the
premix use and the manufacturers' recommendations and adjust the
amount in the suggested diets accordingly. Most vitamin-trace
mineral premixes are manufactured to add to swine diets at the
rate of 2 to 10 lb. per ton of complete feed.
Do not keep more than a three month supply of the vitamin-
trace mineral premix. Vitamins may lose their potency, especially
in the presence of trace minerals. Be sure to store all premixes
in a cool, dry place.
Antibiotics and Other Feed Additives
Antibiotics and other feed additives have not been included
in the diets since the choice of additive varies between farms.
The greatest benefits from antibiotics or other feed additives
are for the baby pigs and growing pigs. The advantages are less
for finishing pigs. In general, antibiotics are not needed in
sow diets except perhaps at breeding time and just before and
after farrowing. When using feed additives, be sure to follow
label guidelines for levels to feed and abide by any withdrawal
times on the label. For a more complete discussion on feed addi-
tives see PIH-31.

1Vitamin and trace mineral mixes may be purchased separately.
This is advisable if a combination vitamin-trace mineral premix
is to be stored longer than three months. Vitamins may lose their
potency in the presence of trace minerals if stored for a pro-
longed period.
