My barrow is 170 lbs with 26 days til weigh in
Is on Purina 809 mixed with 909 4 lbs day (all he will eat)
heavy weight 12 oz day
champion drive 1 lb day
on this he has gained 2 lbs per day
hand fed twice a day-slopped
I only have 1 bag left of 909 and it takes 3 weeks to get in so will be too late
I did not want to use paylean if possible
will be right at 220 which is our lower limit which is fine, but would like to be a little over any suggestions? Thanks

Re: weight gain
Can I ask why you do not want to use Paylean?

Re: weight gain
My daughter has a heart condition and she does all the feeding since is her project. When I read the warning label I have been hesitant to use it. Our pigs are very sound but I don't know stress negative or not. That's only reason. I may not know enough about it
Re: weight gain
Fair enough very good reason.
Stay on 809, Heavy Weight and Champion Drive. If you aren't already mix the Heavy Weight with enough water to make a milk shake like consistency then add to the feed.

Re: weight gain
I read your comment of the heart condition. I am in the same situation with my 2 kids and myself.
We just use precautions in that we use solvent gloves when handling the feed.
Just a thought, everyone has to make the decisions that they are comfortable with.
