Water and Diarrhea at show

Can pigs get diarrhea once they get to the show by drinking a different water source? If so what are some suggestions on preventing this from happening?

Tru Trac

Anyone have any reviews on the use of Tru Trac for joint and hoof. I used Sunglos In Motion and wasn't real impressed. Also opinions on the use of rice bran oil adding a shine to skin and hair coat. Thanks

Re: SureChamp/TrueGlo/LungAid

A new product out from Starmaster show feeds called star igniter. I would post a pic of the analysis but not sure how. Go to their Facebook page to inquire (Starmaster Show Feeds). Tested is as a trial for our lambs and hogs last season. It did very well.

Is there any concerns of the caffeine in the chocolate and any problems with digestive system (loose stool, going off feed, etc.)?
