ITQIMI‘ uniformity within the litter. lec- sened mortality and less "drain on the system of the sow. , acquaintance with feed prior to weaning resulted in no setback in gains. and the total feed con- sumed by the sow was less. Creep feeding is looked upon with much favour by farmers who consider- hoga one of their entdrprisec. as it eliminates sudden changes feeding practices and rations and results in more constant and con- sistent daily gains in weight The average weaning pig in numerous litters ha sc- cesss to the creep was 36.4 pounds,‘ many pigs averaging 45 pounds and one entire litter of seven averaging 50 pounds, while in the case of the litters having no access to creep feeding during the suckling iod, e average weight per in- individual was only 24.2 pounds; a difference of over Negiounds in favour of the creep-f stwklin » pig. The weaning date was ‘ days in all comparison made. Since a critical stage of a ‘pig's life is from weaning to 00 days, the gains made in welrmt during this period more or less regulate the subsequent rate of gain of the lit- ter. The importance of having the young suckling pig well acquaint- ed and accustomed to skim-milk and meal prior to weaning is there- fore apparent. Findings indicate that the heavier pig at. waning is not so loot to scouring and digestive troubles. In large litters the young pigs started to take milk and meal at two to three weeks, whereas litters of four to six pigs hesitate to take feed in the creep for the first four or five weeks. The meal ra/tion fed in the creep should be low in fibre content, the following being used with very good success at this sta- tlon: 100 pounds sifted, or hnlless oat chorp 50 pounds middling: 50 pounds shorts 2 pounds fine bonemeal Care should be taken to sec that the feeding utensils and troughs are kept sanitary and clean for suckling pigs.
