CUTTING OUT STARTER DIETS…

Show-pigs

A common question our Nutrition Advisors are asked is what are the economic and physical costs of cutting out starter diets? A good rule of thumb is that 5 pounds of lost gain in the nursery phase of a pig’s life becomes 25 pounds of lost gain at the market. Pigs are much more efficient at building muscle early in the phases of their life. As pigs mature the conversion of actual lean and muscle is much less efficient.
