you dont need much gain aday to mack that .66 day on the 210 pig and 1.3 on the 200 pd. they should be doing that on a good show feed. But to pick it up some i would get some power fill by honor and some paylean. feed 1.5 pd of your show feed with 1.5 pd. power fill with 1 oz of paylean twice aday, that should net you some where between 2 and 3 pd aday. idont know what you are willing to spend on additives but to add fat there is power fuel by honnor works really well, you could use some sowbean oil , golden flow, power fat, dont know whats avallable to you in your area. good luck

3lbs of feed a day getting you 2-3lbs of gain a day? Maybe Im reading that wrong. I would feed 1lb of feed 1lb of powerfill about 4 times a day if you can get the pigs to eat that many times. If you can get your pigs eating that you will easily make weight. I would also add some championsdrive topdress along with 9grams of paylean per day. Make sure the pig has fresh water at all times and that he is comfortable. Something else that might help getting more feed in him is getting him up walk him a little bit rinse it off and then let it back at the feed. Had some gilts last year at fair that people keep coming up and petting and I got 15lbs of feed in them in one day. Ive never seen anything like that before.
