Capture increased milking capacity in lactation. Weaned pigs were bigger and starting easier. Finishing pigs are calmer with increased weight out the door.

On the  Form-A-Feed program, we have gained 15-20 lbs in finisher pigs going to market, using same days and a whole lot more! In lactation, sows are milking better with improved weights at weaning.

We use sow feed, nursery feed, and finish feed products from Form-A-Feed for our operation. I feel like one of the major impacts I have seen in the feed rations drawn up, along with the products they offer is that the feed efficiency keeps getting better.

We have always had great customer service from Form-A-Feed. Anywhere from being able to get a feed order delivered on short notice, or a quick answer back on a change with a feed ration. We aren’t a very big operation, but I have never felt like we get pushed to the side for that reason.

One big change that comes to mind right away is that we were having some scour issues in our nursery pigs right about the time that our Form-A-Feed representative took us on as a client. He came up with a different plan to switch to the Safe Choice 750 Nursery Base. That has been an immediate game-changer from what we were seeing prior to that. Since switching to the 750 Nursery Base we have seen fewer and fewer fall behind pigs, and a faster transition to get weaned pigs on feed.

We have seen a great impact in our nursery weights and in lactation on the suckling piglets using Villipro XL.  Nicer, heavier weaned piglets.

The pigs are doing great on Wean Defense. They drink more water, eat more feed and have less problems. The product does what it’s supposed to do. It works.

Working with the Form-A-Feed team makes us feel like we are not on our own. The Form-A-Feed team is really good about getting out to our barns on a consistent basis. It’s helpful to have the team tell us what to expect based on what they are seeing in the industry. The service always continues along with the product.

Capture retained and brought higher yields to our finishing hogs and keeps our sows lactating during the heat.

We are fully on the Form-A-Feed program. They have a wide spread of good products, all which have benefits for our operation! Form-A-Feed has the right diets in place for the whole operation. They’ll help in anyway! When commodity prices are at their highest, they put a lot of effort in so there’s still money on the table.
