Feeding plan for pig that's too heavy
I have a pig weighing 250 pounds with 20 days left until show. He can weigh 275, so that gives him an adg of 1.25. He is currentlyon 2 pounds fitter 35 twice a day. Should we continue with how we are feeding or do something different.. He is too chubby right now but otherwise is a good pig.

Re: Different judges
Maybe the pig was just having a bad dat.. 2 out of the shows he's been grand breed or reserve breed. This one last. Just go into the big show and hope for the best.

Re: **** What would you do ****
It is most likely microplasmic arthritis. Had 3 pigs do it. The best thing to do is to give linc for 7 days and it should clear right up, but in the future start with lindner 612 if available! It's helps prevent it in younger pigs and they will never get the limp. All pigs have it but only a few wil...

Went to two jackpots the last two weekends. First show one pig got reserve bopb out of 41 pigs and the next week got 12th out of 12 in class..the other pig had too much muscle the first week and not enough the 2nd week..my question is how can it be so different from week to week!?

Feeding muscle
Had a jackpot today and the judge said he needs more top shape and muscle. He weighs 190 with 30 days left til county and 47 days left til state. What is the best feeding strategy I could go with from here. Currently on lindner 611 and full figure.

Adg question
How hard is it to achieve a 1.45 adg for the last 150 days before the show? If the pig weighs 60 pounds?

Re: Feed additives
Thanks for the replys. I was just curious about everyone's opinions. I tend to agree...in my opinion additives are there to add what your pig lacks but it's just as easy to ruin a good hog over using them. I'm not an expert tho so I was seeing if people used them always or just when needed. Thanks

Feed additives
Do all pigs need some sort of feed additive or the best pigs are going to be the best on a base feed?
