Larger Litters
Os Pigs Needed
To Boost Profits
Extra pigs per litter mean
extra profits.
This fact was brought out this
we°k in a report by R O. Wil
liams. livestock specialist of the
University of Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
Pointing out how important it
is to raise extra pigs per litter,
■Williams used a four brood sow
unit as an example. An> average
of six pigs per litter from such
a unit can produce over 11,000
pounds of pork per year, figuring
two litters per sow annually
which is essential for maximum
profits. “At 18 cents per pound,”
V Jhams stated, “this gives a
gross income of over $1,900 or
$405 per sow.”
If 11 pigs per litter are raised
winch isn’t uncommon for a
good swine producer, a yield of
over 20.000 pounds of pork and
a gross income of $3,700 can be
exnected. The income per sow
advances to $935.
Williams cited tests at the
Coastal Plain Experiment Sta
tion at Tifton which show that
only 25 acres of land, carefully
planned and planted, is requir
ed to successfully operate a four

' brood sow unit of production.
The livestock said ar average
of 25 bushels of oats per acre
and 40 bushels of corn per acre
was produced at the Experiment
Station where the plan was
i developed to carry a four sow
> unit averaging six pigs per. litter
on this small acreage. The farm
er who raises above the six pigs
per litter was reminded of the
need for higher yields per acre
of feed produced on the 25
acres. Otherwise, more land will
be required for a four-brood
sow unit.
Are pigs from large litters as
good as those from small ones?
Williams says “Yes." A litter of
11 pigs at the Coastal Plain Ex
periment Station weighed as
much per pig at weaning as did
pigs out of a smaller litter. They
grew as rapidly, averaging 225
pounds per head at six months
of age when marketed.
Williams pointed out that a
1 detailed plan for the year-round
’ management of a four-brood
j sow unit is available at the coun
ty agent’s office.
Be sure to handle all live
stock gently because even the
gentle'ones may kick or strike
when surprised, according to
j livestock specialists for the Agri
! cultural Extension Service. Uni-
