Show Pig FAQs
Whether you have questions about pig nutrition, management, health, or show ring preparation, we have the answers you need. Explore our FAQs to find expert advice and solutions to help you successfully reach your goals.
-
How much feed should my show pig consume daily?
Most show pigs eat 2 to 3% of their body weight per day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 lbs of gain per day. Adjust your show pig’s diet based on body condition and show timeline. -
How much feed will I need for my show pig?
- To calculate how much feed you will need to reach your target weight, multiply the days on feed by the average daily gain to determine the total pounds of feed needed. Then divide the total pounds by 50 (1 bag of feed) to determine the total number of bags you will need.
- It is safe to estimate you will need 12-15 bags of a Sunglo complete feed from the time you purchase your animal to your target show weight. However, these are just estimates.
-
What are commonly used supplements for show pigs?
Supplements that are used throughout the show pig feeding period include those that promote joint, hoof and skin health like Sunglo In Motion and those that provided added fat like Sunglo Sumo and Sunglo Liquafat. Products like Sunglo Explode, Sunglo 4-Sure and Sunglo Game On are widely used in the final push leading up to and during a show.
-
How do I start my show pigs on feed after I bring them home?
Before you start your show pigs on feed, it’s important to know what they are currently eating. Ask your breeder and plan to transition gradually over a five-to-seven-day period by mixing the old and new feeds. Most show pigs will start on a higher protein feed like Sunglo 803 or Sunglo Show Pig Complete, which are both designed to support the nutritional demands of your show project at any stage.
