Show-Rite Lamb Nutribase 800 A Plus

Overview

Show-Rite Lamb Nutribase 800 A Plus is a pelleted base mix designed for feeders who mix their own custom rations. At 800 lbs per 2,000-lb total batch, it is combined with commodity grains (corn, oats, barley, roasted beans, soybean meal, molasses, oil) to achieve a 19% creep, 17% grower, or 14% finisher formula. Aimed at programs that want control over their grain mix while using Alltech-tech fortified nutrition as the vitamin/mineral/protein backbone.

Show Circuit Use

Sources: showrite.com/products/lambnutribase/

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Used by programs that prefer to mix their own feed rather than buying a pre-made complete feed. Provides Show-Rite’s Alltech nutritional backbone while allowing control over grain type and ratio. Particularly common in larger operations that buy commodity grains in bulk.

Real-World Feeding Rate

• Typical rate: Determined by the custom mix formula; complete ration fed at standard lamb intake rates
• Introduction timeline: Standard feed transition

Common Deviations from Label

No circuit deviations found beyond the standard practice of adjusting the grain mix ratios based on available commodities and individual animal needs.

Breed-Specific Notes

No breed-specific notes found.

Phase Protocols

Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase

Use the 19% Creep or 17% Grower formula at project start for growing lambs.

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Continue at 17% Grower or transition to 14% Finisher depending on the animal’s condition and target weight trajectory.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

14% Finisher formula appropriate for this phase; layer in appropriate supplements.

Stacking Protocols

Can be used alongside any Show-Rite supplement line — the base mix provides the nutritional foundation; supplements are added on top for specific show outcomes.

Budget Alternatives

• Mixing commodity grains with a simpler vitamin/mineral premix — lower cost but lacks Alltech technology
• NewCo Lamb Feed D22.7 — pre-formulated complete feed that eliminates the custom-mixing step
