About Show Pig Starter

Show Pig Starter is a premium medicated complete feed specially formulated for exhibition pigs starting at 40 pounds body weight. This high-performance starter ration combines elevated protein levels with disease control medication to support rapid early growth while protecting against swine dysentery and bacterial ileitis during critical developmental stages.

Designed specifically for show pig exhibitors, this medicated formula delivers superior nutrition with 20% protein and enhanced lysine levels to promote exceptional muscle development, frame growth, and overall conditioning. The inclusion of Tiamulin provides effective control of swine dysentery (vibrionic dysentery, bloody scours, hemorrhagic dysentery) and bacterial swine ileitis, helping maintain health and consistent performance during the demanding early show pig development period.

Show Pig Starter is ideal for serious exhibitors seeking a complete, medicated nutrition solution that supports aggressive early growth, disease control, and the development of show-quality pigs with excellent structure and muscle expression.
