Supplements for duroc
I have a duroc cross Barrow who is mostly Duroc that weighs 160 pounds he has Good Width and good thickness with a lot of muscle but he looks very soft and needs to fill out through the middle although he has a lot of depth of rib. I was wondering what supplements you would recommend for a show that is 60 days away. He is currently on free choice purina 709.

I forgot to add that I have a 280 max.

It appears he can gain 2 lbs/day, so you shiukdn't need to slow much if at all. To help with muscle shape and leanness as he grows replace 1 lb of 709 with 1 lb of High Octane Fitter 35 per day from now until Show time. For help with center body width and rib add 4 oz per day High Octane Depth Charge. About every 5 to 7 days increase Depth Charge by 4 oz until you are feeding 16 oz per day.
You have probably figured out this will be much easier to accomplish, you will have more control over weight gain and how the barrow looks if you are hand feeding. (Feed 6 lb per day 709).
