i have a spot market gilt. weigh in is march 16th and minimum weight is 225lbs. last weight was 131lbs on january 28. she’s currently eating 3lbs lindners 685, 2lbs thomas moore, 4oz of full figure and 1oz of grub it up two times a day. Any tips or suggestions to help her gain weight.

last year i had a light x market hog who gained just under 100lbs in a month by giving her wheat millings. i haven’t tried that on this hog yet. any suggestions to push weight fast.

Just some thoughts (and questions):
- what is Thomas Moore?
- if you’ve had 2 pigs that needed to be pushed in the last 2 years, I suggest looking at your program:
- are you purchasing pigs that are too young?
- are the pigs getting sick doing the way?
- what is your management program like?
- I would also re-evaluate your nutrition program if the above checks out ok, your nutritional program doesn’t seem to be working

Thomas Moore is a pig feed that my local feed store carries. my light x last year didn’t NEED to be pushed, i was trying to put a gut on her and she gained 100lbs she ended up needing to be held back to make weight. the spot was born in early september. she was 67lbs on november 28th. i also have 2 duroc’s this year that are gaining weight just fine. the spot can eat everything i put in from of her but just won’t gain weight as fast as i need her to.
