Get your Pigs off to A Fast Start
How would you like to get your spring pigs off to
market in sto s'/a months? Well, there are a lot of
people doing it. Some of them may be your neighbors.
1+ is no secret. An important way to help do this is
creep feed your pigs Purina Baby Pig Chow and Pig
Startena.
Here are some of the advantages of creep feeding.
Creep feeding ease pigs over weanirt^, worming, vacci
nation, diseases and weather conditions. You also get
more efficient gains later. You prevent sows from becom
ing suckled down, this is very important because the pigs
are not depending all together on the sow for all their
ration, it takes from 4 to 6 pounds feed to put one pound
of gain back on the sow. You have more pigs and heavier
pig at weaning. The Purina Farm averages 10 pounds
heavier pigs at weaning than the national average. It
takes only 2 pounds of Purina's Pig Startena and Baby
Pig Chow to make a pound of pork
Now lets see what the cost and extra profit is: You
have 10 pounds heavier pig at weaning or 50 pounds
extra meat at marketing, you market 8 pigs per litter,
you save 125 pounds of feed for weight not lost on sow,
you feed 50 pounds Baby Pig Chow also 200 pounds Pig
Startena. Here is the facts and figures:
50 pounds extra weight at market time by
8 pigs equals 400 lbs. extra pork at
l7'/zc pound $70.00
175 lbs. Sow Ration saved at 5c .. 6 25
TOTAL EXTRA VALUE ~ Vb.2S
50 lbs. Baby Pig Chow J 3.75
200 lbs. Startena 1120
TOTAL EXTRA COST . . <1495
EXTRA PROFIT PER LITTER ZZZtfUO
This is what Purina's Pig Startena and Baby Pig Chow
means to you hog raisers and the hog industry.
Even if you are raising pigs to sell you will have a
pig that is off to a fast start and a bigger pig. These
type pigs always bring more money than a stunned rough
looking small pig.
Another important factor in getting your pigs to
market early is to worm your pigs at weaning. It only
costs a few cents to do this and it will save you man-'
pounds of feed plus more and healthier pigs. Purina
Liquid Pig Wormer added to water or pig wormer alre dy
mixed in feed will give you the best job ever.
