2 step works great! We have also fed " in motion " by sunglo but I like the 2 step better.

Are you guys feeding these supplements for joint health, or to help with tight muscles and better movement or stride. I wasn't aware of any suppement despite what it may claim that would actually help with tight muscles or better flexibility.

Do you feed 1 or 2 oz/pig/day?

Do you have a place to get it for less than $42 for 5 lb or $64 for 10 lb pail?

We have fed 1 scoop up until 150ish and then use 2 scoops. We use it for joint/hoof health. Flexibility/tight muscles is in the bucket...%protein & how much lysine/fat.

I agree with mtbkmom despite what the name of a product may imply I don't believe any top dress supplement is going to help with tight muscles. The only way to control that is with genetics, protein/lysine, exercise and the amount of paylean fed.

We get it online from PNT. They have a write up on it explaining most of the ingredients in it/why, etc. It is also an approved source of glucosamine for swine.
