Content: Even the best feeds will not increase body length, base width, or bone. Feed will not make the pig tall at the point of the shoulder. Nor will the best feed turn an unsound pig into a sound one. You will need to select animals that already express these features. Nutrition unlocks the genetic potential of your showpig project. A great feed will do only so much for poor genetic potential. However, a poor-quality feed can ruin great genetics. Receiving pigs
If you purchase a pig (s) from a pig sale, consider medicating the pig for at least 14 days after purchase. When pigs are placed in the same air space as other pigs with a differing immune status the result can have serious consequences, if not properly addressed. Feeds medicated with Carbadox or Denagard ®, are appropriate for receiving young newly purchased pigs.
