UK pig rations could mirror growing pig feed sector in Denmark
Higher yielding hybrids as a substitute feed grain are proving popular with pig producers in Denmark, says breeding company, KWS. Some Danish pig farmers are adding in rye at rates of up to 40% in finishing pig rations. Hybrid Rye has a reduced protein content to wheat, but KWS reckons higher yields of a new variation of rye hybrids generate more feed value per hectare on light soils – especially compared to wheat – in the second cereal slot.
