How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Biomend is the gut health baseline in the ShowBoss program. Feeders run it from day one to establish a healthy rumen environment and continue through show week to support digestive function during travel and pen stress. The combination of prebiotic + brewers yeast + rumen pH support is a stronger gut package than a single-ingredient product. It’s the Kent equivalent of Sure Champ Extreme or EatMoor for gut health.

Real-World Feeding Rate

  • Typical rate: 1–2 oz/day for lambs throughout the program; 3 oz/day during high-stress show periods
  • Introduction timeline: Project start; especially valuable in the first 2–4 weeks when lambs are adjusting to the show feeding program

Phase Protocols

Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase

Start Biomend at project beginning to establish healthy gut microflora.

Weeks 8–6 through Weeks 2–1

Increase to 2–3 oz/day during travel and show venue stress.

Stacking Protocols

Foundation supplement — stacks with all other ShowBoss products without conflict. Does not duplicate MoorGame or Final Drive; Biomend’s role is gut health while those handle bloom/muscle.


Cross-Brand Notes

Comparable gut health supplements:

  • Umbarger Sure Champ Extreme — Amaferm + HEAT + garlic + MOS gut stack
  • MoorMan’s ShowTec EatMoor — Amaferm + PrimaLac + CitriStim + Cell Rate gut stack
  • Purina Show Champ Stim — brewers yeast-based gut support

Budget Alternatives

  • Standalone brewers yeast (commodity) — similar yeast component at much lower cost; lacks prebiotic and pH support stack
