[QUOTE="BudE, post: 570046, member: 1266"] Appetite Express will help, use twice the recommended amount. Don't feed free choice hay, a flake or 2 a day is plenty. Make sure he has fresh water, not a scum filled tank but fresh daily. A vitamin B shot might help as well. We've also used Vita-Charge from Vitaferm with good results. Make sure his feed is something he likes, lots of molassis will help, we've also used apple flavoring for ones that like apples. He will also eat better if he has a buddy in the barn. They don't have to be in the same pen but it helps. You can tie them so they don't get into each others feed. We have also fed 4 times a day on hard doers. Put a little feed in front of them every 6 hours. Basically, you need to do a lot of experimenting and see what helps. He should be eating 20 to 30 pounds of feed per day. I assume he's been wormed lately and vet checked for any health problems. A little fever with no other outward signs of distress will limit feed intake as well. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
