New Thoughts on Sow Productivity
The benefits from increased litter size and weight at weaning are extremely important to the economic health of the swine industry. Over the past 15 years, genetic selection for litter size has led to a dramatic increase in the number... (Continue reading)
Using the Akey PROPHET database to help Optimize DDGS Use
Increased Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS) use has increased our need to properly optimize its potential. Because DDGS vary in composition, pig growth performance and carcass characteristic variability is often affected with increased DDGS use. This performance variability is... (Continue reading)
