Good morning KGB
On 1/21 my show hog was 265.5. He had already been cut back on feed for our fair and was being fed 1# of Knights show pig 20% (Corn Dent grain, Soybean Meal 48%, Swine Mineral, Soy Oil) a day. A week ago I added Fitter 35 following the total ration it suggested. Yesterday I weighed him at 292. I have 20 days till weigh in and I don't want him to be over 300. Preferably If I can get him down into the 280's that would be best.
I am an FFA advisor and this is our chapter hog so I am not sure what caused this weight spike (possibly was given the 2#'s Fitter twice a day from the students showing him) but is there anything I can do? He LOOKS great but I just need him to drop some pounds.
Thanks so much!

Re: KGB HELP - Holding Weight/Lose pounds
I’m not sure what the statement: A week ago I added Fitter 35 follow g the total ration it suggested” means.
What is he currently being fed total per day (how much feed and how much Fitter 35)?

Re: KGB HELP - Holding Weight/Lose pounds
In any event the way to slow and possibly lose some weight is to feed:
(Total daily feed; divide into 2 equal meals):
high Octane Fitter 35. 3 lb
High Octane Depth Charge. 8 oz
NO other feed
