Torch

Overview

Torch is described as a supplement “used to trim your animal and burn fat” — positioning it as the body composition correction tool for animals carrying too much condition. With 61% crude protein and minimal fat (1% min), it is a lean, high-protein product that drives muscle while reducing excess fat deposition. Available in 3 lb to 30 lb sizes ($29.95+). Used when an animal needs to come back from being over-conditioned without losing the muscle frame underneath.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Torch is the body composition correction tool — deployed when an animal has gotten too fat and needs to come back without losing the muscle underneath. The 61% protein / 1% fat ratio creates a strong anabolic (muscle) signal without adding to the fat stores. Best used in conjunction with increased exercise to redirect energy toward muscle and away from fat. Should not be stacked with fat-adding products (CHUB, Soft Silk, Uni4m).

Phase Protocols

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Introduce Torch if a body composition scan or visual assessment shows excessive fat cover that needs to be addressed before the shaping phase.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue if body composition correction is still needed. At this stage, time to correct is limited — be realistic about how much change is achievable.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Torch is generally not introduced this late — body composition changes take time. If still needed, use conservatively.

Stacking Protocols

With Crease: Torch burns fat; Crease builds muscle definition. Used together on over-conditioned animals to simultaneously reduce fat and increase visible muscle. With FLARE: FLARE opens body shape while Torch reduces excess fat cover — can complement each other on animals that are “boxy” and fat. Conflicts with: CHUB, Soft Silk, and Uni4m — do not stack fat-adding and fat-burning products simultaneously.

Budget Alternatives

Reducing total fat in the ration by pulling fat-adding supplements and increasing exercise achieves a similar compositional shift. Commodity blood meal (high protein, essentially zero fat) can serve a similar high-protein / low-fat function at lower cost.
