MoorMan's® ShowTec® #1 Mineral Supplement
Protein and mineral topdress designed to pair with ShowTec lamb base feeds — 25% protein, 2:1 Ca:P ratio, ammonium chloride for urinary calculi prevention in males
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
ShowTec #1 Mineral Supplement is ADM’s required mineral companion product to all three ShowTec lamb base feeds. At 25% protein and 1.5% fat, with a 2:1 Ca:P ratio and ammonium chloride, it rounds out the mineral and protein profile of the base ration. ADM’s official feeding instructions specifically direct feeders to provide #1 Mineral Supplement at a minimum of 2 oz per head per day or 2 oz per 100 lb body weight alongside 18 Elite Lamb. It is not optional in the ShowTec program — it is the designed complement to the base feed.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
#1 Mineral Supplement is the ADM-mandated base mineral. It’s a background product — not a topdress feeders make active decisions about, but a required piece of the program. Feeders in the ShowTec system keep it in the ration from start to finish as specified.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: 2 oz/day (or 2 oz/100 lb) — follows ADM’s recommendation directly

Budget Alternatives
- Loose loose mineral for sheep/goats (no added copper) — cheaper per lb but lacks the protein component and ammonium chloride formulation
