Conclusions-Reducing Particle Size • Nursery Pigs
– Benefits in F/G observed as particle size is decreased until 500-600 µm, then little benefit
• Finishing Pigs
– Meal diets result in 1% improvement in F/G for every 100 µm reduction through 300 µm
• Feed intake and gain are reduced when corn is ground to 300 microns in meal diets for nursery or finisher pigs
• Bottom line – we recommend grinding grain to 550-600 microns for meal diets.
