i have a gilt that's going to a show in 35 days and is only 180 pounds. she's not eating much and just doesn't have any appetite. i'm really desperate! i'd like to see her at 265 at least, but i don't know if that's going to happen. i'm giving her brown sugar, powdered fat, jello, etc., but she just isn't interested. it's been hot so i have been spraying her every hour, but no results. any ideas?
Ninety-seven percent of pigs in the United States today are raised in factory farms, where they will never run across sprawling pastures, bask in the sun, breathe fresh air, or do anything else that comes naturally to them. Crowded into warehouses with nothing to do and nowhere to go, they are kept on a steady diet of drugs to keep them alive and make them grow faster, but the drugs cause many of the animals to become crippled under their own bulk.
