Lakeside Farms

Posted: October 24, 2024

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.
