Getting that perfect finish on your hog involves the right feed and a bit of strategy. Adding Lindner Full Figure to their diet can help increase fat content, giving your hogs a smoother finish. Adjusting the amount and timing of feedings can also make a difference. For a tailored approach, reach out to us. We’ll share tips and tricks to get your hogs show-ready and looking their best.
The right amount and timing can make all the difference. As a rule of thumb, pigs should get about 5-6% of their body weight in feed each day, split into two meals. For cattle, around 2-3% of their body weight is a good target, also divided into two feedings. Goats typically need 3-4% of their body weight daily. For detailed advice, give us a call, and we'll tailor a feeding schedule to your needs.
How long a bag lasts depends on the size and appetite of your animal, and how many you're feeding. Generally, a 50-pound bag of feed lasts about 10 days for a single pig, goat, or calf, but this can vary. For a precise estimate, we’re happy to help you work out a feeding plan that fits your specific situation.
