[QUOTE="Eolas Álainn, post: 7137142, member: 151965"] Hey! Not sure if you are still looking for this to be answered but let's see if this is any good to you. Assuming you want high quality meat (less fat), you will want to make sure that you feed your gilts plenty of fresh grass (if you still can) mixed with vegetables (potatoes and carrots are my preference but sugar beets and pumpkin can also work) and concentrates. To change up the diet you can also include clover and nettles (boiled) in the diet. Cereals like barley, millet and rye can also be added to the diet to make it more well rounded. With regards to 19% protein ration question, so long as the range is between 17% and 21% you should be ok. From my experience and from talking to others, 19%/20% is the ideal as if you go higher you actually run the risk of the gilts developing diarrhea and so they won't absorb the nutrients and will stunt their growth. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
