With our inaugural report we're asking all you budding animal scientists to weigh in on a little debate we've been having amongst--so far--just ourselves:
What are the min/max ppm for plywood in a balanced swine ration?
What's the optimal dry-matter % of plywood for gilts?
We believe the right answers are 0/0 and 0. Our friends over at the Leopold Center couldn't help us out. Google helped us out a little, but for the most part there's not a whole lot of "quality" research out there on this topic. And most of that seems to conclude that it's just too darn expensive, anyway.
The one thing we are certain of is that pigs are really smart. They're smart enough to have moved the snacks closer to where they sleep, and it only took a week to figure put how to do it!
Of course, we're not suggesting that Pierce College is feeding pigs plywood. What we are suggesting is that it took these two porcines less time to accomplish what they wanted to do than it's taken your public employees to do one small thing they're supposed to do: provide animals with a safe place to live. That's all.
So weigh in and let us know: how heavy is a piece of plywood and how many man-hours would it take you to move it a few feet? From the shoebox we found a shot of how things might look after the result of such a great effort.
