Fitter 35 ????

Post by beco822 » Tue Jan 28, 2014 11:27 am

Have a nice Hamp barrow that is doing very well and having to hold him back just a bit. My ? is he's looks a little loose and was wondering if the Fitter 35 would lean him up just a bit and give him a bit of muscle pop and if so how many days out from the show should I start.Thanks!!

Fitter 35 will burn fat. So, if the pig has some to spare Fitter 35 will work. Feed 3 lb Fitter 35 per day with 8 oz per day Depth Charge. The pig should gain 0.25 to 0.5 lb per day.

If the doesn't have a whole to spare and you have 21 or more days to your show you might consider feeding:
(Total feed per day; divide into 2 equal meals):
High Octane Powerfill. 2 lb
High Octane Fitter 35. 2 lb
High Octane Depth Charge. 8 oz

The pig should gain about 1.2 lb per day on this diet, and burn fat or lean up more slowly.
