One thing that we always use is Moorman's moorbody, Its just a supplement with some fat a protein, that makes the pigs eat more. Other things we have done are; Cake mix, eggs, and cooking oil, and powdered milk. Just mix it in with the feed. Your pig/s will devour it.

I don't know what your feeding, or what your feed store sells, but since i have grind n mix feed, i just add dry mollasses and extra soybean meal and th pigs love it. They especially love extra soybean meal.

you can add water to your feed when it is feeding time and mix it will trick them to thinking they are still hungry and it dont cost nothing to do it

At the fair my hog was 13 pounds short, and I threw in about 7 eggs and she ate them whole shell and all, and she gained 15 pounds in about 10 mins.
