Re: Help!KGB. Overweight!
With that diet the pig is going to continue to gain rapidly. He’s already overweight I wonder why you are feeding Paylean? Paylean dramatically increases growth rate, so does fat (soybean oil is 100% fat as well).
You can keep or improve shape without Paylean. My suggestion is to feed:
(Total daily feed; divide into 2 equal meals):
High Octane Fitter 35 3 lb
High Octane Depth Charge 1/2 lb
The pig should gain about 0.3 lb/day and weigh about 289 lb in 9 days. I don’t know if a way to lose weight (over several days) and make the pig look good. It’s also hard on the pig to do so.
