Summary:

Van Ryswyck farm installed a liquid feeding system and evaluated their experience with the systems. There were initial problems when starting with high moisture corn as it was processed in a way that was unsuitable for the system, and also later when adding condensed whey permeate which increased backfat too much. After modifying the feed supply and the mixing and feeding program, both ingredients were used without further problems in the system or carcass characteristics. The system is susceptible to power surges and acid damage from whey, but labour is reduced, feed intake is excellent, and performance comparable. As well, the initial system installation is economically feasible, and the system provides a savings in feed expense. Van Ryswyck farm was overall satisfied with the feeding system, although it does take some initial modifications and adjustments.
