Feeding boars

Post by Rway » Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:30 am

What is the secret to keeping weight on boars that are not eating due to gilts or sows in their area. I have one boar that has been 30 yards or more from the gilts and sows and he will not eat well. Is there something high in fat or something I can add to their diets.

Nothing stronger than a sex drive that you can add to the feed. On one like him all you can do is isolate him more.
