Started supplements now they won't eat
Started supplements now they won't eat
Started my daughters 2 fair pigs on supplements yesterday (depth charge, champion drive & heavy weight) along with 709 which they have always been on. These 2 have never had a problem eating. We hand feed twice a day. Since I added the above listed supplements they don't care to eat. Anyone else had this problem? I don't need them to stop eating at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.
Re: Started supplements now they won't eat
How much Depth Charge are you feeding? Sometimes the pigs don't like the taste of depth Charge. So we usually start with 4oz 2x's a day (8oz total). We also add 2 -3oz Heavy Weight 2x's a day. Sometimes we also throw 1/2 cup of stream rolled oats in there to help them to get eating again, not much nutrition value but they love them.
Re: Started supplements now they won't eat
That is correct. If you add 3 supplements at the same time, and full rate you can expect pigs to not eat well. It's not that the supplements are not palatable, it's that there has been a drastic change in taste and texture.
