Now this may not sound too difficult, but this is a pig that stops and starts, gains slower than anything I've ever seen. She gains for a couple days, stops for a few days. We are feeding a 16% feed, moorbody, moorfat and oat groats, and paylean. She quit eating this, so on a hunch, I fed her straight feed. Started eating and gaining again. Started to slow down, so I am hand feeding(literally) a wet mash. Any ideas on a quick weight gain. We have tried cake mix for sweetness, gatorade in her water, she doesn't like it. she is a mature - meaning market ready pig at 220. Weight limit is 230, weigh in Friday, this is monday.

Sometimes change the brand of feed stay on a 16%. And really 10 pounds is not that hard to get if u have to get the weight from water 1 gallon of water will give you 8lbs of weight gain

get some white generic cake mix and add .25 of the box to the feed at every feeding. this will help with feed intake. also shut the water off of the pig the morning before you weigh and let it drink before you go to the scales, if it drinks a gallon, you just added 8 of the 10 pounds that you needed.
