Pelleting hog feed improves digestibility


Pelleting corn-based hog rations increases digestibility, according to research at the University of Illinois.


But so, too, does decreasing particle size in regular meal rations. In fact, small particle size was more beneficial than pelleting.


The research team compared results from six different hog rations. They compared three different particle sizes and pelleted or meal rations.
