Depth Charge
Depth Charge
We are 15 days from our show and it has turned hot. Our pigs have cut way back on the amount of feed they are eating because of the heat. We have been feeding them 16oz of depth charge a day. From what I see Depth Charge expands in their stomach when it gets wet to help fill our the sides and stomach. Does it do more than just expand, is there a nutritional value also? We need to add 25 to 30 lbs before the show would we be better to stop the Depth Charge or cut back. Our pigs need more fat cover especially on there sides.

Re: Depth Charge
Sorry for the delay... on the road this week....every week.
If you need faster weight gain pull the Depth Charge out, especially if they are backing up on intake. But, you are feeding a lot of energy (calories) from fat (Power Fuel and Heavy Weight). It might be that as well. If you pull Depth Charge out and the pig are still not eating like they should, then pull the Power Fuel out.
