We feed our Tamworths until they are eating 4lbs each a day of sow and weaner nuts. Once they are up to the 4lbs, they don't get any more.  This keeps them going till slaughter ( about 140lbs liveweight - we don't do kilos!)  they have no other supplement and we never have any problems with too much backfat.
