30 days to Fair

Post by RioMarziliano » Fri Sep 06, 2019 2:53 am

Hello everyone I have a Hamp Barrow that is currently 135 and is gaining .5 lbs a day. He is being fed linder 18% fresh from the mill. He gets The Formula probiotic and a joint supplement. He also gets Quaker oats and some rice bran. When I feed him he isnt interested in the food and then nibbles some and walks away. It's always like this.

I have 30 Days to fair and the minimum is 210. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Will do anything to get him to make weight.

Worm him if you haven't recently. I'd add some Full Figure and Slop to the 18%. I'd also wet the feed mixture to see if that gets him going.
Try 2.5 lb 672, .5lb oats, .5lb Slop and 3 oz. Full Figure. You need 2.5lb a day to get were you want. Not sure it will happen. Good luck!
