Feed help

Post by EMC » Fri Aug 18, 2017 4:29 am

255 lbs, can only gain 1.6 a day. Need fill from shoulder to ham. Getting 6 oz Powerfill, 8 oz ultra full, 8 oz depth charge, 8 oz champion drive, 4 oz fat, . Can I increase the depth charge and ultra full, and drop the champion drive to get the fill I need in 18 days?

The diet you are feeding results in a little over 21 grams/day lysine. That is marginal, actually low. It needs to be about 25 grams per day. I'm wondering why you are only feeding 12 oz per day Powetfill when it has the most nutrients in it?

I think you are asking about rib (mid level fill). Depth Charges the product for that. You might try increasing Depth Charge to 1 1/2 lb per day.

He was gaining too much a day so We've kept backing off on powerfill. He was getting 12 oz per feeding just 3 days ago. We'll up the powerfill to get to 25 g a day and increase the depth charge for a few days and see what he gains.

I assumed the daily feed in your original post was twice per day.
