SHOWDAY Feeding Program
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 12:53 pm
Been feeding Moorman's all year, with the exception of Essential Wide Open as filler/rib expander. We are considering the following feeding protocol for the day before and the day of the show. Will show 2 middle weights, 2 heavy weights. No weigh backs.
- Day before show:
o Morning:
Regular feed rations
Dextrose 10% added to feed (1.7 parts powder to 16.9 oz water)
About an hour after dextrose, give 1 scoop 4-sure with lots of water
o Night:
1/2 bag of Show-Prep
Dextrose 10% added to feed (1.7 parts powder to 16.9 oz water)
About an hour after dextrose, give 1 scoop 4-sure with lots of water
- Day of Show:
o Morning: (8 hours before show)
1/2 bag of Show-Prep divvied out into small frequent feedings (every hour)
Dextrose 10% added to feed (small amounts)
Follow with water out of bucket
o 1 hour before showtime:
1 part feed to 3 parts filler
Dextrose 10% added to water (1.7 parts powder to 16.9 oz water) and 1 scoop of 4-sure
o 30-minutes before showtime:
Water… as much water as they will drink
Anyone see any potential problems? Or have any additional suggestions? Our daughter has worked her tail off every day, all year and we want to make sure we give her the best shot on the day of the show! TIA!
