We have a gilt that has stopped gaining weight! She weighs 215 and needs to be 225 by 4:00 pm on Monday. She is very healthy and has been on a good worming schedule. She has been stalled at 215 for the past 4 days. We would appreciate any advice!

Slop her feed, then 12 hours before the weigh in dont give her anything to drink just slopped feed, right before you weigh give her milk, or milk replacer in a bucket. Keep in mind a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.

GOOD LUCK,
