Swine Management Tips
1. Never cut back on feed without adding Showdown or a protein supplement.
2. SUPER IMPORTANT provide fresh, clean, cool water at all times. Allow adequate feeder space at all times.
3. Treat pigs for internal and external parasites with broad-spectrum wormer.
4. Closely monitor the weight of the pig throughout your project. Knowing the pig’s average daily gain allows to predict more
precisely the weight at the show.
* Fill in appropriate dates for your fair.
