  1. FEEDING PIGS FOR SHOW Dr. Kevin Burgoon Nutritionist

  2. FEEDING PIGS FOR SHOW • Nutritional requirements • A Plan • Products • Difficult situations • New Pig Starter Program

  3. NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS • Factors affecting nutrient requirements • Gender (sex of animal) • Stage of growth • Performance (growth vs visual) • Lean growth potential • Environment • Health Status

  4. NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS Avg Animal Top 10% (Show animals)

  5. HAVE A PLAN • 6 to 6.5 months • Do your homework • Relationship with breeder • Genetic potential (growth, muscle, cover) • What physically needs to be done in the pig • More muscle • Softening muscle

  6. HAVE A PLAN • Paylean • Leave time for extra growth • Extra cover prior to feeding • Feed extra energy • Soundness

  7. MEDICATIONS • T100 Tylosin sulfate (Tylan) @ 100 g/ton • L200 Lincomycin @ 200 g/ton • CTC/DEN Chlortetracycline & Denagard • CDX Mecadox (Carbadox)

  8. HSC SHOWPIG PRODUCTS • Showpig Grower • Growing, developing • 50 to 150 lbs • Showpig Finisher • Growing, developing, softening • 100 to show

  9. HSC SHOWPIG PRODUCTS • Showpig 16 • Finishing, softening, building body • 125 to show • Special Effect • Finishing, softening, building body • Help with rib shape • Gilts or barrows

  10. HSC SHOWPIG PRODUCTS • Powerfill • Complete feed • Can be used as a topdress • Holding • Slowing • Adding rib shape • Adding dimension

  11. HIGH OCTANE PRODUCTS • Champion Drive • Power Fuel • Paylean Premix

  12. DIFFICULT SITUATIONS

  13. POOR APPETITE • WHY? • Immune challenge • Genetics • Ultra lean • Light birth weight

  14. POOR APPETITE • Try to stimulate appetite • Flavors • Shell corn • LOL Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer • Concentrate nutrients • H O Champion Drive • H O Power Fuel

  15. POOR PERFORMANCE • Water • Feed enough feed • Feed separately • Deworm regularly • Immune challenge

  16. EXTREME MUSCLE • Showpig 16 • Special Effect • H O Power Fuel • Powerfill

  17. EXTREME MUSCLE • Round, excess or restrictive muscle • Lower crude protein (lysine %) • Daily requirement – lysine & other AA • Lower lysine % below requirement • Pig breaks down muscle to obtain AAs • “loses” muscle and lessens restriction

  18. NEED MUSCLE • Paylean • 9 grams/ton • H O Paylean Premix – 2 ounces per day • 21 days • H O Champion Drive Topdress • 1 to 2 lbs per day • With regular showpig feed • At least 30 days…longer is better

  19. ULCERS • Prevention – key • 4 to 8 ounces per day oat groats • Feed deprivation • Water • Treatment • Cherry flavored Mylanta or Maalox • 6 to 7 cc (mls) per 100 lbs daily • Oat groats (increase particle size)

  20. NEED WEIGHT GAIN • Very young • Immune challenge early • Paylean® • Increases muscle • Decreases bodyfat • Increases growth • Growth response peaks by day 14 • Pulse Paylean 14 days

  21. MANAGING WEIGHT GAIN • Pig weighs 200 lb • Maximum weight is 270 lb • 60 days • Can gain 70 lbs • Remember you have about 6-7 lb weight loss due to hauling (actually have 76 lb)

  22. MANAGING WEIGHT GAIN • Most important: DON’T PANIC • Divide into 3 intervals • 1st 20 days – slowing • 2nd 20 days – increasing cover • 3rd 20 days – increasing muscle

  23. MANAGING WEIGHT GAIN INTERVAL 1 – SLOWING • Powerfill 3 lbs / day (1 lbs/day gain) INTERVAL 2 – ADDING COVER • Powerfill 2 ½ lbs / day • HO Power Fuel 1 lbs / day

  24. MANAGING WEIGHT GAIN INTERVAL 3 – ADDING MUSCLE • Powerfill™ 1 ¾ lbs / day • High Octane Power Fuel – 1 ½ lbs / day • High Octane Champion Drive – 1 lbs / day • High Octane Showpig Paylean Premix 2 ounces / day • Beet pulp if needed

  25. POWERFILL RULES OF THUMB
