Beacon,
in reference to your question on feed conversion, usually 3lbs. of feed per pound of gain.

it looks like you still have about 24 days until show date. am i correct? if you are able to feed paylean, i would start in the next couple of days. you should start to see an increase in avg daily gain.

I don't think a pig would consume 14 lbs/day. Would they?

I'd take that feed out of their pen and let them get hungry for a few hours (half a day), then introduce the feed to them about 1 or 2 lbs. at a time. Make them WANT that food.

You've gotta play mind games with pigs sometimes.

you need to start the fluid flex now. it takes about a month to reach its full benefit.

they have to be spilling there feed im feeding six pounds of feed a day , sow feed 1.5 pounds and power fill 1.5 per feeding gaining 2 pounds a day for 30 days every pig is diferant but thats a lot of feed to be eaten for little gain. we dont have sunglo here but i've heard poeple do good with it.you should do 3 pounds of feed to 1 pound of gain if not need to ajust.
