Ryan: Feeding Program

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Question: This is our first year feeding Honor and we were wondering what you would recommend to feed to young pigs headed for sales in the spring to give them that extra edge at the sale?

Answer: Ryan,
 
Thank you for your email and for choosing HONOR Show Chow showpig products.
 
Our program for pigs weaned at 21 days of age, or weighing about 12 lbs in bodyweight is:
 
Ultracare Gel: start feeding while pigs are still nursing at 10 days prior to farrowing, keep feeding when you wean until about 10 days post weaning.
 
HONOR Show Chow PRELUDE 209 2 to 3 bags
HONOR Show Chow PRELUDE 409 feed until you sell the pigs.
 
If you wean at a younger age, or the pigs are lighter, feed about 2 lbs per pig (1/2 bag per litter) of HONOR Show Chow First Wean One.
 
This program has worked extremely well.
 
Thanks again,
 
Dr. Kevin Burgoon
HONOR Show Chow Nutritionist
