Can feed make a show barrows top 2/3's wider,(I get conformation/structure) or just more definition and volume? If so, thru what feed products?

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question....2/3's is that 2 to 3 inches or 2/3 rds wider (over half again as wide).

The answer to that if that is the question is NO. None. Supplements can make a difference in the appearance of the pig, but they are not miracle workers. Champion Drive promotes muscle (more definition in the pig's top....deeper groove, a bit wider back). Heavy Weight can add fat around that muscle adding to the width of top. But, although they can help, they can't (nor any supplement, including Paylean) make something out of nothing.

High Octane Ultra Full can help the pig's profile, at least body depth. This supplement helps with lower 1/3 fill, about from the sheath back. It is especially useful for dropping the flank area.

Champion Drive and Heavy Weight (and also Paylean) are useful for making the pig's top wider.
