My pig needs to gain weight slow

Post by Sierra#123 » Thu Dec 30, 2021 2:19 am

I need suggestions on how to have my gilt gain the least amount of weight as possible! She's 203 pounds she only gets 3 pounds of feed a day, 2 pounds of umbarger massive 15% protein and one pound of oats plus a 70% milk fat supplement. She gains way to fast at about 2.2 pounds a day.

My weight range is 220-280 the show is in 55 days meaning she needs to be gaining 1.2 pounds or less a day to be safely in the range.
