Gilts stomachs love medium feed
Gilts during maturity have the best stomach health when they are given medium ground grain .
By testing four combinations of feed structure for pork, it has been found that medium-sized milled grain throughout the period from 30 to about 140 kilos produced the best stomach health at maturity, while the use of pelleted feed during the same period produced the worst stomach health.
If pig producers nevertheless choose to change feed at about 100 kilos, it is best to allocate pelleted feed from 30 to 100 kilos and then medium-grained flour feed from 100 kilos to the gilts are inseminated , but any way the stomachs health wold not be as good , if you did it with medium sized grain from 30 to 140 kg
