Sunglo Full Tank™
Low-fat citrus pulp pellet to increase rib shape, gut capacity, and body fill without adding fat
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
Sunglo Full Tank™ is a 1/8” pelleted, low-fat filler supplement built on high-fiber citrus pulp with added probiotics. It is designed to give show animals more spring of rib, depth of flank, and overall gut capacity without depositing fat. It is commonly used in limit-feeding programs to maintain a “gut fill” appearance when total ration intake is restricted.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Full Tank is used throughout the program to build rib shape and maintain the expanded, full look when limit feeding. When total intake is restricted to hit a target weight, Full Tank keeps the rumen full without driving fat deposition.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: 0.5–1.5 lbs/day for lambs depending on stage and desired fill
- Introduction timeline: Can be introduced as early as 8–9 weeks out; commonly ramped up in the final 3–5 weeks

Phase Protocols
Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Begin at 0.5 lbs/day to start developing gut capacity and rib spring alongside base feed.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Increase to 1.0–1.5 lbs/day. Primary tool for building rib shape and depth of flank without adding fat cover.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Continue at current rate. Pair with S’more Fill or 2 The Fullest if additional palatability-driven fill is needed.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Maintain rate. Helps keep gut full during the holding and show travel phase.
Stacking Protocols
Pairs well with: S’more Fill (appetite/palatability fill), 2 The Fullest (forage-based freshness fill). Full Tank handles structural fill and rib shape; S’more Fill and 2 The Fullest address the freshness and palatability side of fill.
Budget Alternatives
- Beet pulp shreds (commodity) — similar high-fiber filler function, lower cost; lacks probiotics and palatability enhancement
