My experience is fattening up hogs for the freezer. Back in the day we'd buy feeder pigs10-15 at a time. 30 years later I've currently got 5 that I'm fattening up.
I've gotten away from the pelleted feed as they won't eat nearly as much or as fast as mixed feed. Plus it's too expensive.
I get feed ground 500lbs at a time. It has corn, distillers grains, and a vitamin/mineral supplement. I feed free choice and add greens out of the garden, pecans and acorns raked up from the woods, table scraps etc.
I'd give your gilt all she wants till she's looking good and then start rationing as others have said. You don't want her overwieght to breed. If you can't get a corn based feed ground add cracked corn to her pellets, that way she'll eat more.
