Best show pig feed / program

Post by AndieYoder » Tue Aug 22, 2017 3:32 pm

We used Honor Show Chow last year with amazing results . I'm curious what other people like and why and what feeding programs have worked best for you

We are currently using a blend...We use Moorman's and Purina fill products like Ultra Full and Depth Charge. I like the high fat options that Moorman's offers, although in general the feed is more expensive. Just as an observation it seems that our pigs have gone off feed less frequently with this program, not sure if there is a direct link. Moorman's claim is that their feed formulations are not changed with the fluctuation of ingredient prices, whereas the others are...essentially meaning there are lot/bag variations. Not sure where or how much this plays into the equation, as there have been plenty of winners on other feeds. they also have a lot of patented ingredients that I think may aid in the overall growth and success of your animals.

I have used HSC and liked the results. The biggest asset to that feed program is KGB. He is always available to help. The other feed programs don't seem to offer the same support. For example, our Moorman's rep here is also a large local breeder in the area and it's always hard to tell if the advice he is giving is any way tied to whether you purchased your animals from him or not.

We also used Sunglo for a season and that wasn't bad, either.

Moormans Showtec feed, Yaggies oat groats with honor show chow supplement is the best combination we have found
