I am not sure if there is anything that will specifically ad more muscle to just the front end. I think that is all genetics. What you could try is a product like depth charge from purina that will expand the ribs and make it look wider. Different bands have different products that do this also.

Champion Drive is another good product. It's high protein and targets the top line and muscle development.

It is a slow process. It is a gradual change. Start it slow and gradually increase it until you see results. Some pigs take alittle while to get used to eating it.
