Just dewormed my daughter's gilt because she doesn't have much of an appetite. Never had a problem with ADG before with any of our other pigs, but we really need to push her now. Just not sure worms are really the issue. We weighed her 1 week ago and she weighed 195 on the club's scale. Just found out club scales were 5 pounds light so now she weighs only 205 and needs to weigh 230 by next Weds (25 lbs/9 days). Never had to push pigs before - always have to hold normally. She's pretty small framed and looks good but not sure we're going to make it. Started feeding paylean, cake mix, corn oil, raw eggs and maple syrup. She's eating about 1.5 lbs. at a time/ 4 times a day. I know she's eating a lot more with the new concoction but not sure how much more since we've always used a self-feeder. Now we've removed the self-feeder and are just hand feeding. Definetely has helped her want to eat more. Thanks in advance for any replies.Think we can make it? Anyone had to gain this much in this short of time before? At this point making weight is our main goal...

It can be done and it sounds like you are trying. I have feed a bunch of show pigs and found each one is different. The best thing i can tell you is dont ever give up. I had one this last year who was a very picky eater took awhile but finally figured him out. Soaked cracked corn was what he wanted and eat like a horse. He went on to make the sale at Houston.

let me know how it works out and good luck to you
