Pedal Down is built for the “get them rolling” part of the project. When pigs first come home, the fastest way to get behind is poor intake and slow early progress. Pedal Down is designed to be a more aggressive feed that helps pigs start driving forward—building muscle mass and shape while pushing a higher rate of gain.

Where it really shines is versatility: you can run it as a primary grower early, then later blend it with other Umbarger complete feeds as pigs mature to keep adding muscle and shape without pushing too hard.

If you want a feed that helps pigs look and perform like show pigs early—Pedal Down is that tool.

Key Benefits

  • Aggressive grower feed to accelerate average daily gain

  • Builds muscle mass and shape—especially early in the project

  • Strong option for receiving pigs at home

  • Works great as a blend feed later to maintain muscle and shape without overpowering the program

  • Designed to keep pigs progressing without sacrificing the show look

Choose Pedal Down if:

  • You’re receiving pigs and need a strong start at home

  • You need to push ADG and build muscle/shape quickly

  • You want a feed you can later blend with other complete feeds to keep improving muscle

  • Your pig needs a more aggressive grower to stay on track for show weight and look

Pedal Down may not be the best fit if:

  • Your pig is already getting too soft or too fat, and you’re trying to tighten up finish

  • You’re in the late-season holding phase and need to slow gain or manage weight tightly

  • Intake is inconsistent and you need a transition feed designed more for steady appetite than aggression

  • Your show/program requires non-medicated feeding only

  • You need a lower-energy option to maintain cleanliness and prevent over-conditioning

Pedal Down is Umbarger’s go-to muscle builder used to push growth rate and develop shape early in the project. It’s an aggressive option for receiving pigs at home and a strong tool to accelerate average daily gain while keeping pigs headed the right direction for show-ring muscle and look.
