Feed plan for ADG of 1.5 to 1.8

Post by DoubleDShowpigs » Tue Jun 28, 2016 4:25 am

Have a gilt that weighs 95 pounds and 104 days left till show. Currently feeding 4# a day of 909.
Looking for a feed plan as she starts to get bigger and require more feed. Not wanting to increase gain and Don't want to not feed enough for daily requirements. Was thinking of feeding 4# daily with 1 lb of depth charge till she gets up to around 150 #. Not sure where to go from there on.

Your plan sound good to me, as for what plan to follow after 150#s will depend on your hog. What improvements you need to make, more cover, muscle, depth, flank etc.. So if your adg is where you like it now and yes the addition of depth charge is a good Idea if needed you are on a good pace. And that 909 is a really good product. I usually set my hogs up to take the new 909 at 150 to 180#'s lighter then that they are on 709 from about 90#'s to the 150/180 range depending again on the hog.
Take something good out of every experience you have.
