How much weight can a pig gain in a day?

how much weight a pig will gain per day is really all up to the quality and quantity of food you feed your pigs. I feed 22% protein and i i feed them other things such as rubbish and old produce from a local market. My pigs gain an average of ne to two pounds per day.


What is the feed to gain ratio in pigs?

In livestock operations (including pigs), efficiency of converting feed into muscle mass is critical for success of the farm. The feed to gain ratio is a unitless number that expresses how well an animal converts feed into mass. For example. If an animal has an average daily gain of 500g and consumes 600g of feed during this time, the feed to gain ratio (F:G) would be: 600g/500g = 1.2 This can be interpreted as the pig needing 1.2 lbs (or kg, etc) of feed in order to gain 1 lb (or kg, etc) of weight. The lower the F:G ratio, the more efficient the pig (or animal) is at converting feed into mass. Typical F:G ratios for pigs range between 0.9 and 1.5, depending on life stage. A ratio above 1.5 typically indicates a poor producing pig. Depending on the institution, a ratio of gain to feed may be more often utilized. This too expresses feed efficiency, but as an inverse of the previous ratio. So the same pig who has an average daily gain of 600g and consumes 500g during that time period would have a G:F of: 500g/600g = 0.83 This is interpreted as the pig gaining 0.83 lb (or kg, etc) per 1 lb (or kg, etc). When using G:F to express efficiency, a higher number is more desirable.

How much do piglets weigh when they are born?

pigs are pretty small when they are born, because they are born in litters. litters average in number anywhere from 6 to 16 piglets. my guess is that piglets weigh around a pound each at birth. what i do know from raising pigs for 4-H and fair is that when we take pigs to fair, they are usually in the neighborhood of 150-160 days old and can be expected to weigh in around 220-275 pounds. at 150 days they are not even 6 months old. at this stage, pigs can be expected to gain around 2 pound of weight per day.
