She looks good to me just the way she is. I'm not sure you want to add any fat at this point.

Just curious, what brands of paylean are you guys using that causes you all of these problems? In the South these pigs get paylean for much longer time and at a much higher rate than is recommended and they do not seem to have all of these horror stories you guys talk about.

Ok kgb the pig genious. I started paylean to 2 of my pigs last week. I can allready tell a big difference in the amount of feed they are eating. The pigs are litter mates (not the gilt) they walk perfect have a great frame but just need help with cover and putting on weight. I am 45 days out and they way 190 should I start moorfat right away, and how much? Last time I weighted them they were only gaining 1.3 per day. Should be interresting how much the daily gain goes up with paylean.

Yes, I think you should start High Octane Power Fuel immediately. Energy is your friend when it comes to Paylean for even more growth, and helping to keep the extra muscle soft.

For the Paylean statement from the South...we feed way more than recommended. Just a note; it's not more than recommended...it's more than what is legally approved by the FDA.

Again, it goes back to soundness and structural correctness, as I stated way above in the second post.
