Do you have any idea why they didn't make weight? Were you feeding them a good hog ration? Could they have been wormy or suffering from any other parasites? Did you not allow enough time? Of all the problems I have ever had with pigs, poor weight gain was never one of them.

They ate every time we feed them but not all of it. We wormed rhem to thanks for your help.

How often did you feed? And how much?

 

[Speedychicken27]

We feed them about 5 lbs of food 2 times a day and there was always a little food left.

Cut back to 4lbs and wait till they finish it to increase the amount. What do you feed them?

I have a friend that makes our feed so I don’t know right now
