Umbarger Freedom Base sits in your pig program as a dependable “clean” base feed that helps you manage condition without sacrificing muscle or handle. It’s built to deliver consistent intake and steady gains with a lower energy density than many of the finishing or high-fat options, which makes it a smart choice when pigs are ready to tighten up, stay fresh, or be held near ideal weight.

Freedom Base is especially useful in the grower to early finisher window, or in a holding phase where too much added energy might push pigs into an overly soft condition. It allows pigs to eat well, stay sound through the front, and move forward without adding weight too aggressively.

Key Benefits

  • Lower-energy formulation to control condition and gain

  • Helps maintain fresh appearance and correctness

  • Supports muscle development without excessive fat cover

  • Works as a base feed early or in a holding phase

  • Good option for pigs that tend to get soft quickly

  • Helps keep pigs moveable and responsive while managing intake

Choose Freedom Base if:

  • You need a lower-energy base feed to help control condition

  • Pigs are naturally soft or prone to fat cover

  • You want to keep pigs fresh, tight, and mobile

  • You’re in a holding phase or early finish phase where heavy energy isn’t desired

  • You want a base you can run longer without constant program changes

Freedom Base may not be the best choice if:

  • You need aggressive gain and mass early on (use a higher-energy grower/finisher)

  • Your pig is hard-keeping and needs more calories to develop properly

  • You’re in a true late push / final finish phase and need more fat cover

  • Intake is inconsistent and needs a stronger palatability boost

  • Your program requires non-medicated feeds only (contains BMD)

Freedom Base is a lower-energy show pig feed formulated to give pigs a cleaner, controlled gain. It supports muscle development, condition management, and freshness without adding excessive fat cover—making it ideal for pigs that naturally carry a lot of condition or for holding situations late in the project.
