On the other hand, the fields areenriched as the hogs are fattened. No matter to what extent breeding has adaptedthe hog to concentrates, he still thrives best withsome coarse forage. Enough nourishment is ob-tained from grass, rich in bone and muscle-formingelements, to maintain his body, and the grain givenis converted into gain. Nitrogenous concentratesare needed in dry-lot feeding, but grass reduces thisneed. Gains on pasture are made from 20 to 30 per centcheaper than in the pen, which means usually thatthey are twice as profitable. Corn worth a dollarfed to hogs in dry lots may readily produce porkto the value of $, while if fed to hogs on pastureit could as easily be expected to produce gains inweight worth $, even after making allowance forthe value of the pasture.
