I have 1 month to get my pig to gain 150 pounds. What is the best food to feed him to get him bulked up fast?

Question

Showmanship pig!

Answer 1

Healthy pigs will gain from 1.5 to 1.8 pounds per day if fed properly.  I don't you could get a pig to average 5 lbs/day fro 30 days even if you force fed him.  Trying would not give you anything for the show ring.  You need to rethink your project and talk it over with your adviser or leader.

Answer 2

Bakery works well...  Doughnuts, pastry, pie, etc

Answer 3

Lead would do but it might kill the pig.

Maybe make the pig drink 10 gallons of water and clamp off his urether?

No way you can feed this pig enough to gain that much on a month, not even with tons of donuts and cakes.

Answer 4

whey and ground barley, goats milk anglo nubian if possible as it has a higher rate of fat. what breed? I used to breed rare breeds The oxford and sandy, lovely pig and nice temprement love the outdoors so are good as organic pigs,

we also bred Goats, toulose and breacon buff geese in fact any rare animal.

Answer 5

go to bread stores and get the old bread that is to be throwed away ...iv been in vo/ag and know things not to do ...in order to get the hog in an upper weight division it has been known that cheaters would run a water hose down the hogs throat and fill his stomach full of water ...this is not advisable and is dangerous ..you should have took raising a hog more serious and wouldn't be endangering a pig cause of your inability to be responsible to an other animal

Answer 6

Milk is a great way to add on weight, but it's mostly fat so he won't win the market class for leanness. But if it's a showmanship pig that doesn't matter! :) Also, you can ask your feed mill to put some tallow in the feed, which is liquid fat, that helps them grow.

Walk the pig everyday - it builds up their appetite, and feed them all that they can eat.

I don't reccommend feeding them garbage slop. Definetely do not slop their feed, it gets moldy very quickly which can make a pig sick.

Keep track of their weight as close as you can to moniter it.

Answer 7

GMF made specially to grow it!!!

Your pig needs fat, enough fat to grow it to 150 pounds.Your pig must eat!!! Have no mercy on this one.It must eat!!!

Answer 8

Feed your pig lots of sweets, as much as he can eat.

Answer 9

Feed him lard.

Answer 10

Trying to get a pig to put an additional 150 pounds on in 30 days (5 pounds a day) would be very cruel to the animal. I hope that when presented to you in the light of 5 lbs a day you can see it and understand it as cruel. Show in a different class. Even if you could do it, a fat pig is just a fat pig, hardly worth a trophy. Feed her well and get her some good quality yard rooting and slop rolling, with a good hosing most every day (they love a low sprinkler on a hot day) and the smile on her piggy face will win you a "d**n, that's a great lookin' pig".
