You didn't mention what the pig currently weighs, or how much fat you are feeding per day.

If the pig is under 150 lbs and you are feeding 4 oz per day fat or so, it's not going to put on fat.

Another thing to consider is that it sounds like you have a gilt...in general gilts put fat on much later than barrows.

Also, as KGB will probably point out, fat cover from a supplement is not noticeable until 30-40 days of product use.

Our son uses Frosting XL mixed with oats and regular feed. In about three weeks you will see the ribs expand well. Frosting XL is almost the same as Heavyweight and you can buy it by the pound instead of having to buy 20 pounds at once. The pigs will eat they can't stand anymore.

Of course I meant to say until they can't stand anymore so needless to say they will gain well at the same time as adding cover.
