Need to increase appetite
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2019 5:02 pm
We kids have 4 hogs that need to be a minimum of 230 by Aug 6th. We weighed in on June 21st and they all weighed in the 140's. We took them off free feed and started feeding 2 times a day; 3 lbs show rite team 18, 2 oz honor heavy weight, 4oz power fuel, and 8oz champion drive each feeding. The main problem is they only eat about half each feeding. They have fresh water, it's been a cooler summer, good shade, not sure why they seem to have a lite appetite. We will re-weigh this friday. I'm worried we will not we able to put the needed weight on. We are down to 30 days. we have also tried Golden Glo, adding water to their feed, nothing seems to make them want to eat more than a quarter to a half if we're lucky. Any advice would be welcome. We've never had hogs that were not excited to eat.
