If the pig’s are more like 20 lbs I could see this happening, but not at 30 lbs. have you taken one of the pig’s temperature? That would tell you if it’s nutritional or a bug.

In the mean time if you feed a little rolled oats (steam rolled oat groats) that will go a long way to controlling stool consistency. It won’t take much 2 to 4 oz per day per pig.

What were the pigs fed prior to 519? Did the scouts happen immediately? Or, did it take a couple days?

They were fed 209 and 309 before the 519.No problems with those 2 numbers.The 519 they don’t even care to eat it.Gave them another brand of feed and they went right to eating.

Great, solves your problem. But, let me ask how do they scout on a feed they won’t eat?
