Question: We are 25 days out from our market hog show. We have a york/hamp gilt at 256 lbs and our top weight is 290 lbs. She has good muscle and cover but on free feed on T100 grower her adg is 3 lbs. We are hand feeding now and do not want to lose the bloom she has. She looks really good right now. Where should we go from here?

Answer: Nikki,

Thank you for your email and for choosing HONOR Show Chow Showpig products.

I suggest not giving your pig free choice feed. You can slow down growth and make your pig look great by feeding our Powerfill product.

For 1 lb of daily gain:
(TOTAL FEED PER DAY; DIVIDE INTO TWO EQUAL FEEDINGS):
HONOR Show Chow Powerfill 3 lbs per day

For 1.5 lbs of daily gain:

(TOTAL FEED PER DAY; DIVIDE INTO TWO EQUAL FEEDINGS):
HONOR Show Chow Powerfill 2 lbs per day
HSC Showpig Grower 2 lbs per day

Thanks again,
