Our pigs are currently at 125 pounds. They have to weigh less than 185 pounds in 40 days and between 220-300 pounds in 100 days.
We're currently feeding Purina 719.
We need to average approximately 1.5 lb/day for the next 3 months which seems like not very much.
Is there any recommendations for feeding as we move forward?
Thanks.

Re: Need slow gains
Feed:
(Total daily feed: divide into 2 equal meals):
Purina Honor 719. 2 lb
High Octane Champion Drive. 1 lb
High Octane Depth Charge 8 oz
Monitor weight gain, but this should put the pig at about 1.3 lb per day or so.
After the weigh in feed either of these 2 diets:
(Total daily feed; divide into 2 equal meals):
719. 2 lb
Powerfill. 2 lb
Depth Charge. 8 oz
If you can’t find Powerfill use Champion Drive in its place.
Either diet should have the pig gaining about 1.5 lb per day. The Champion Drive diet maybe a little less

Thanks Kevin, that's just the advice I was looking for.
