But, you don't feed Paylean to horses. At least I don't think you do.

I first would recommend our product. But, you might also try the horse section of your local dealer. You'll probably find many biotin supplement products.

<t>Well.. lot's of questions. Let's start with the baking soda first. Does it help keep a pig sound? Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Just like mom put's in the refrigerator to keep the "off" odors at bay, and just like the feed additive in dairy feeds.<br/> <br/> In dairy feeds it's a buffer, or ...

<t>Yes. If you feed 2 lbs Powerfill (1.85% lysine), 1 lbs Champion Drive (2% lysine), and 1 lbs Power Fuel (0.5% lysine) you get:<br/> <br/> 2 X 454 X 0.0185 = 16.8<br/> 1 X 454 X 0.02 = 9.1<br/> 1 X 454 X 0.005 = 2.3<br/> total = 28.2 grams/day lysine<br/> <br/> You need about 25 grams/day to keep ...

Hampy can also give you advice.

I'd suggest 2 lbs per day Powerfill, 1 lbs regular showpig feed, and 1 lbs Champion Drive. That should give you about 1.5 - 1.6 lbs per day.

If you need to improve cover, replace the 1 lbs of regular feed with 1 lbs of Power Fuel.

I'm not Hampy, but I am the guy who formulated the High Octane products and there are 3 of them (HO Power Fuel, HO Champion Drive, and HO Showpig Paylean Premix).

The feeding rate will depend upon which one you are using and what you are trying to accomplish.

Any Purina dealer should be able to get Powerfill. I know that Producer's Coop in New Braunfels and Seguin have it.

<t>Very nice posts, all of you. I will tell you this, when I was a kid I had zero help. And, I have made it a point that when someone asks me for help they are going to get it.<br/> <br/> It also sounds like you guys are cut from the same mold. For all the folks that take the information and run and...

<t>If you someone calls or e-mails me, I attempt to get as much information as I can. With that said, if someone asks for me help, I am not going to telling them "sorry, can't help you, I can't see your pig".<br/> <br/> I leave it up to them to describe the pig and what they want to accomplish. Also...

<t>Darin: you are correct on a number of issues...primarily the "name brands" parading winners in every magazine. And you are correct that a lot of folks want to feed what the winners feed.<br/> <br/> With that said, yes we do it too. I for one am very proud of our winners. I get a blast out of folk...

<t>Tim:<br/> <br/> You should know better. The Grand Champion Market Hog at your show (NW Jr Livestock Show) was won by the same young man for the past 3 straight years...feeding HONOR. <br/> <br/> His mother wanted to feed Del's last year because of the cost difference between the two. He wouldn't ...

He expressed a desired average daily gain...that's the proper way to look at things. The diet I gave you will result in that.
