Supplement Help
Posted: Sat May 26, 2018 2:46 pm
Hi -
I attached a link at the bottom to look at photos of my pig. Any advice on what supplements I should be feeding? What would you say are her strong/weak points on how her body looks? (e.g. What would you change on her if you could, and what do you like about her?)
She is a crossbreed female, and she will be at my county fair from June 29 to July 8. She is currently on Show-Rite 17.5%, and eating 4.5 lb. per day of it. She is eating it all and very hungry when I feed her everyday. She is on the heavy side... Her weights from about the past two weeks are:
5/28/18 - 218 lb.
6/2/18 - 228 lb.
So far, that would put her at an ADG of 2 lb. She was eating 5 lb. each day between those weights, but now I lowered it down to 4.5 lb. per day because she would be overweight (her projected weight would have been 282 lb. with 5 lb. of food per day, but my fair's weight limit is 275). Weigh-in is June 30.
Thanks!
