US Feed Outlook - October 2010
Corn planted and harvested area are both increased this month, but a 6.7-bushel-per-acre decrease in yield lowers forecast corn production 496 million bushels. Production also is decreased for sorghum, barley, and oats, according to the USDA's Economic...

Effect on Growing Pig Performance of Changes in Energy Intake Achieved Through Restriction of Feed Intake Versus Changes in Dietary Energy Concentration
The utilisation of net energy for body weight gain was unaffected by feeding level or by energy concentration of the diet, according to J.P. Marriott, A.D. Beaulieu and J.F. Patience in the Prairie Swine Research Centre Annual Report 2009.

Impact of Feeding Diets Containing Extruded Flaxseed Meal and Vitamin E in Finishing Swine
A diet containing five per cent flax seed, fed as a 50:50 co-extruded pea/flax seed blend increased the omega-3 content of pork fat, report A.D. Beaulieu, M.E.R. Dugan and M. Juarez in the Prairie Swine Research Centre Annual Report 2009.

Fifth Quarter Value of Pig's Blood
Spray-dried blood products from pigs are fifth quarter products that can not only provide added income for the processor but can also be used as an important additive in the diet of weaning piglets, writes ThePigSite senior editor, Chris Harris.
