Sunglo Show Base is a meal base mix. The product page says it balances the diet of growing and finishing show pigs 50 lb and up. A feature line says the inclusion rate is 200 lb per ton, formulated to provide a balanced and complete show pig diet, and that it is designed to be used with different inclusions of corn, soybean meal, fat, and medications.

Feeding directions

The stated inclusion is 200 lb per ton. The page also prints on-farm formulation mixes and says those diet specs are an estimate and depend on the commodities used. Those tables are not copied here. The mixes named on the page are 20%, 18%, 16%, and 14% protein show pig diets, and a 17% protein gilt developer. The gilt developer mix names Sunglo Sumo and Sunglo Bloom & Fiber. No product page for Bloom & Fiber was found, so it is not a product file. No pounds-per-head feeding rate is printed.

Label

  • No medication line is on the guaranteed analysis.
  • The page says the base is designed to be used with medications. This file does not name a drug, a level, or a withdrawal for that addition.
  • The guaranteed analysis does not list ractopamine.
  • drug_free is true for the product as tagged. It is not a claim about a mix after medication is added.

The exhibitor has to check the show’s current rules. The bag controls.
