When i had to push a barrow last year, i got some of the walmart brand on ensure. It really helps them gain the weight. Put it with feed and slop with it.

You might try some ensure. I had a pig like that last year and i mixed it with the slop and he loved it! Plus it adds TONS of calories!

We will usually mix a cup of oat groats, a cup of moormans 16%, and a cup of moormans show prep. If we are holding on a weight it differs, but that is the usual. We also make sure they get lots of water as well as mixing bottles of Keep N' On for them to drink.

I use Sav a Lam. It is made for lambs, but it has the highest fat content of any milk replacer i can find, and my pigs love it! When i mix it i will put a scoop in with the feed and then add water

Try slopping them with milk replacer. That always helps them gain weight. You could also mix up milk replacer water and give it to them twice a day. That always helps as well.

I have fed it in the past and was very happy with the results. In my case it did exactly what it said it would, and my pig loved it!

Beet pulp is used as a filler for pigs when you are holding their feed intake. It is also used to add a more "full" appearance. I personally dont soak the beet pulp, i just feed it to them dry and then give them water, however i am sure you can feed it wet.
