Proper Growth In Showpigs

The downrange prospects of showring success are largely framed in the first 60 days of receiving into the show barn.  Identifying the body type, frame, ligament/tendon tie-in and muscle type is key to the first few days of setting feed.  Set the right feed at the right time and more of the pigs you start feeding stay on the team longer.  This is critical to give full opportunity to show deep into the season with each one and that's important in today's show dollars.  

The simplest principle early on is to feed less and fortify more.  High energy feeds combined with high protein typically encourages these speed freak growers to just grow more and potentially outgrow their supporting structure of ligament and tendon.  It's when these overwhelming growth spurts occur that typically results in swollen hocks, bowed legs, rolled hoof, swelling and metabolic stress.  The term slow rolling comes to mind or feed 'em sow feed for awhile.  Good advice that generally refers to limiting energy so as not to over stress the strength and connectivity of ligaments and tendons.  The challenge comes in that these same feeds are less fortified and that's a problem.  One solution is to feed Frameworx from Royal Grand.

Frameworx is a fortification powerhouse capable of raising the plane of nutrition for any showpig feed program.  Frameworx is a multi-layered fortifier that provides macro minerals calcium, phosphorus as well as magnesium.  Frameworx also offers trace minerals zinc, copper, manganese and cobalt and also iron.  Let dive into these minerals for a minute.  Calcium and Phosphorus are critical to any feed, not just that they are in proper ratio (+/-1.25:1 ca:p) but also that they are in adequate in total volume of grams per head per day.  When we feed less &/or cut with oats/barley we begin to impede on the total volume and potentially the ca:p ratio if cutting with oats/barley (oats and barley both are inverted ca:p ratio grains).  Frameworx balances these show rations by providing a good volume of actual calcium and phosphorus in a correct ratio.  This balance and volume is a must for healthy and strong ligaments and tendons as well as getting the most bone density and growth that your genetics will allow.  Frameworx also provides trace minerals that also add tensile strength to ligaments and tendons as well as their pliability and are uniquely available to also contribute to hoof health, strength.  These macro mineral and trace mineral combinations go the extra mile to strengthen pasterns and protect against soft pastern issues.  Frameworx also offers biotin a known and reliable contributor to hoof development, strength and repair.  But biotin is also the most critical nutritional contributor to healthy hair growth and clearly hairy show pigs are the on trend feature in today's show arena.  Probiotics and enzymes are also a real asset when it comes to feed availability and assimilation and Frameworx offers live probiotics and ezymes as well as a mananoligosaccharides to bring a full gut bug package to the feed bucket.  One of the included enzymes is phytase which is incredibly helpful in digestion of these grains in rations hence maximizing feed efficiencies and that's no small benefit with show feeds commanding a significant premium.  All these vital nutrients are blended into Frameworx in a base of dehydrated peanut butter, not a flavored base but rather real peanut butter so the palatability of this product is next level good and received very well in the feed bucket.  At the end of the day all the fortification in the world is only as good as it is consumed and this highly palatable nutritional powerhouse is readily consumed and quickly gets to work building your best show pig.
