Way to early for pushing, I would suggest switching over to a grower ration like 632 for one bag and then going to 672 or 685 if your a lindner feeder depending on muscle shape and mass. Don't do too much on a little 50lb pig, wait until the last 30 days to push if necessary. Between now and the last month just keep the pig de-wormed one a month and keep feed and water fresh it should do fine.
