If you need the barrow to gain 3 lbs per day, why are you only feeding 4 lbs of feed per day?

If you need 43 lb/day my suggestion is 909 ( if you have it in your area, 809 if you don't), Heavy Weight at 12 oz per day and Paylean.

But, I don't believe 4 lb per day is enough. If the pig is bigger than 100 lb it probably needs to be on 809.
