help holding

Have tight pig that's been on 16% and 14% all time to try to keep free. Need to shut down gain till show in 3 days. I've been feeding depth charge also. Don't want to try weight watchers or others because not sure of outcome so close. Any input would be great. Thanks

powerfill

Can anyone with experience in feeding powerfill tell me if they think it would be a bad idea to try to slow a.d.g. to 1# with powerfill on a pig that has been on low protein diet to keep him from getting tight?

to much cover?

Have a 220# pig that has started to roll a bit in the ham/loin area back and side. Been pushing for 10 days with Paylean and Lindners 611. Is this caused by too much cover only, or do other factors contribute? Do I need to burn some cover or just get lower fat feed and let Paylean lean him up? Thanks

natural stride

Is it a problem to feed extreme natural stride to show pigs. Notice it has warning about animals for human consumption.

Re: kgb

Hey Kevin, updating on earlier post. Our feed order for powerfill didn't come in again this week. Guess we'll have to find other way to slow gain. Can't depend on this. Really surprised that a company this size would be so undependable. I do believe it's a good product though.
