ShowBoss FATfetti

Overview

ShowBoss FATfetti is Kent’s high-fat conditioning supplement — a 60% fat granule built on hydrolyzed animal and vegetable fat plus partially hydrogenated animal fat. The rumen-protected formulation is specifically noted as safe for ruminants, addressing a key risk with straight fat supplementation (ruminal dysfunction). Vitamin E is included. At 2–3 oz/day for sheep, it delivers concentrated fat-based calories in a small volume. Choline chloride is present for fat metabolism support.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

FATfetti is the fat cover layer in the ShowBoss stack — used alongside Final Drive (muscle) and Lowdown (fill) to achieve the complete show condition package. The rumen-protected designation is a selling point over straight fat oils, which can cause rumen problems at high doses. At 2–3 oz/day for lambs, it adds meaningful fat without the risks of straight fat supplementation. Granular form top-dresses easily.

Real-World Feeding Rate

• Typical rate: 2–3 oz/day for lambs
• Introduction timeline: 6–8 weeks out when cover building is needed

Phase Protocols

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Start at 2 oz/day for lambs needing cover. Build toward 3 oz/day if cover is behind.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue at effective rate. Monitor cover weekly — reduce if over-conditioning.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Maintain at 2–3 oz/day to hold cover into show.

Show Week (Days 5–1)

Continue to maintain condition through travel and show.

Stacking Protocols

Fat cover layer of the ShowBoss stack. Pairs directly with Final Drive (muscle) and Lowdown (fill). Conceptually conflicts with Fit N Finish (which trims fat) — avoid running both at full rates simultaneously.

Cross-Brand Notes

Comparable rumen-protected or fat supplement products:

• Sunglo Liquafat — 99% fat liquid (flax/soybean/coconut oil blend)
• MoorMan’s ShowTec Fast Fat — 5% fat mini-pellet conditioning supplement
• Sunglo Sumo — 70% fat milk-based meal
• Umbarger Dyne — 48% fat liquid (PetAg)

FATfetti at 60% fat is more concentrated than Fast Fat (5%) but similar to Sumo/Liquafat products.

Budget Alternatives

• Commodity vegetable oil (soybean, flax) — similar fat concentration at much lower cost; not rumen-protected
• Sunglo Liquafat — comparable fat supplement in liquid form
