FEEDING TAMWORTH GILT'S
1st 18 WEEKS
WE ARE FEEDING
4 PARTS CARRS BILLINGTON 1022 FATTENING PELLETS
1 PART MICRONISED FLAKED BARLEY
1 PART MICRONISED FLAKED MAIZE
WE STARTED BY GIVING THEM 2LBS FEED FOR EVERY
MONTH OF AGE UPTO A MAXIMUM OF 6 LBS. PER HEAD.
FROM THE 19th WEEK
WE ARE FEEDING
4 PARTS CARRS BILLINGTON SOW PENCILS PELLETS
1 PART MICRONISED FLAKED BARLEY
1 PART MICRONISED FLAKED MAIZE
AT 35 WEEKS WE ARE FINDING THAT 10LBS OF FEED IS ANY AMOUNT
WE DONT WANT THEM TO FAT FOR WHEN WE SERVE THEM.
THE ABOVE IS ONLY A GUIDE AND IF THEY HAVE NOT CLEANED THE
FOOD UP FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY WE CUT THE FEED DOWN.
BECAUSE WE ARE FATTENING THE GILTS TO BREED FROM, THE BARLEY AND
MAIZE WATERS DOWN THE FEED SO THEY DON'T GAIN WEIGHT TO QUICKLY.
ALSO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A WATER TROUGH 24 / 7
