Fluff

Molasses-based appetite stimulant with B vitamins, flax oil, and MOS prebiotic to increase intake and improve hide/hair quality

Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.

Overview

Fluff is an appetite stimulant liquid built on a molasses base with flax seed oil, MOS prebiotic, B12, thiamine (B1), and niacin (B3). The combination of molasses palatability, prebiotic gut support, and B vitamin appetite stimulation makes it a multi-angle approach to keeping finicky or stressed animals eating consistently. The flax seed oil contribution also delivers omega-3s for coat and skin quality. Priced at $26.95.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Fluff is used on finicky eaters and animals that are off feed from stress or environmental change. The molasses makes it highly palatable — even animals reluctant to eat will typically consume molasses-based products, making it an effective vehicle for B vitamins and the prebiotic. The flax oil contribution is a bonus for feeders who want to combine palatability and coat work in a single product.

Real-World Feeding Rate

Phase Protocols

Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase

Use if appetite is a concern from the start. Also useful during initial transition to a new feed program.

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Continue for animals that eat inconsistently. Consistent intake is critical during the condition-building phase.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue as needed.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Continue if appetite management is needed heading into the show.

Show Week (Days 5–1)

Use to maintain feed intake in the unfamiliar show environment. Less invasive than a paste product for routine daily appetite support.


Stacking Protocols

With Voltage: Both target appetite during stress — Voltage is a paste for acute situations; Fluff is a daily liquid for ongoing appetite management. Can be used together. With Foundation: Foundation provides probiotic support; Fluff adds MOS prebiotic and B vitamins. Complementary gut health stack. With CHUB or Soft Silk: If adding Fluff as a palatability enhancer to fat-building products, the combined fat intake should be monitored.


Budget Alternatives

Molasses drizzled on feed is the classic appetite trick and costs very little. The B vitamin and MOS prebiotic content of Fluff is what differentiates it from straight molasses.
