Tips fromthe Pros

Honor ® Show Chow ® Grand 4-T-Fyer ™ concentrate is an extremely versatile premix product. Mixed with your own corn, oats and cottonseed hulls and you can create a variety of quality creep and show feeds. We have used this product in our operation with outstanding results. The fact that you can adjust fiber, energy or protein and use your own base ingredients makes Grand 4-T-Fyer ™ concentrate useful in many situations.

■ High Octane® Depth Charge® supplement makes an excellent filler. Feed it dry in addition to the ration to add body depth and volume.

■ Barley use is optional, and has shown to give a smoother, firmer finish. Adding to mix toward the end of the feeding period is recommended but optional to achieve this desired look and feel.

■ Cottonseed hulls typically come in 45 lb. bags, therefore inclusion rates are listed as 4.5%, 9%, etc.

■ High Octane® Power Fuel® is a cutting edge product, high in energy (31% fat) and very palatable. You can use it to increase intakes, add finish and it is a key tool in hair growth and retention.

MIXING DIRECTIONS & HELPFUL HINTS

■ When mixing rations, put all grains, additional roughages, oils & molasses into mixer first and mix thoroughly prior to adding Grand 4-T-Fyer™ or other pellets. This reduces the amount of pellet breakdown and “fines,” which is the main cause of customer complaints & intake problems associated with the use of this product.

■ Keep corn level at or below 60% – this will help reduce hair burn & fluctuations in intakes.

■ Adding roughages (i.e. cottonseed hulls, beet pulp, wheat bran, etc.) to grower/ breeder diets allows for control of fat depositing and will help in giving the appearance of more rib depth & volume.

■ Adjust molasses levels to accommodate mixer/feeder capabilities.

■ The use of Rumensin® or Bovatec® are recommended, but optional. Always follow label directions when using medications.

POWER IN PERFORMANCE We know the best way to help you realize your

dreams starts by employing a Winning Philosophy:

Efficient production requires a thorough understanding and application of the fundamental principles of good husbandry and sanitation. The Purina® Winning Philosophy program will help you step into the spotlight.

1. GOOD BREEDING: Practice a sound genetic program of selection and culling. Visit a professional breeder for more information. Know the feeling when you have that perfect animal that has the best potential to win.

2. GOOD FEEDING: Proper nutrition for different needs and lifestyles starts with Honor® Show Chow® products. Feed at regular times at least two times daily, with three daily feedings preferred. You can’t become a Grand Champion without the best nutrition.

3. SOUND MANAGEMENT: A clean environment minimizes stress and aims to improve average daily gains. Clean stalls, remove debris and provide fresh water daily. The daily attention to detail is the difference between a Grand Champion and lower placement.

4. PREVENTIVE HEALTH: Establish an effective health program with your local veterinarian. A sick animal never makes it to the top.

These are the building blocks of the Honor® Show Chow® program and the keys to successful production. Practical application of these basic principles will not only support your animal’s growth and development, but also increase its potential of winning on the show circuit.

The Winning Philosophy

A wide variety of mixing options are available depending on your desired results.

Feeding a minimum of 1-2 flakes of grass mix hay is beneficial to support digestion and maintain rumen function. Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times.

Consistency is essential! Feed at regular times each day. Monitor intakes and watch for irregularities. If a ration change is needed, make sure to do it gradually over a period of 10-14 days

OPTIONAL: If you want to add fat quickly, we recommend supplementing your ration with High Octane® Power Fuel® supplement. Include at variable levels depending upon the desired daily intake.
