We have fed 1.5 lbs. per feeding with no problems.  Could probably go up to 2lbs. per feeding, depending on how much finish you need.  Start slow, adding maybe 1/2 lb per feeding for  a couple of days and then increase a little at a time.

We fed a pound a feeding but started 90 days out, like STM said start out slow, If you think you need 2 pounds a feeding work your way up to it over a week or so. I would pull a little of the feed out of your ration if you plan on going up to 2 pounds a feeding.
