MoorMan's® ShowTec® Fast Fuel™
Mini-pellet topdress with wheat germ, rice bran, and Prosponse yeast for smooth body condition, glossy coat, and appetite support in show livestock
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
ShowTec Fast Fuel is a mini-pellet topdress built around wheat germ meal (for octacosanol), stabilized rice bran (energy, antioxidants, essential fatty acids), and Prosponse® yeast for feed palatability. The combination targets a smooth, well-defined body condition and a glossy coat — show finish quality without aggressive fat loading. A lighter alternative to Fast Fat when cover is not the primary need but finish polish and appetite are.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Fast Fuel is positioned as the “finishing touch” supplement in the ShowTec line — the palatability/coat polish layer rather than a primary fat or protein supplement. Feeders use it to drive intake and create the visible show finish (glossy coat, smooth body) in the final weeks. Sometimes used instead of Fast Fat when lambs are on target for condition but need coat and appetite work.
Real-World Feeding Rate

Phase Protocols
Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Introduce for coat quality and palatability.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Continue; 4 oz/day holds coat quality without adding significant fat.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Continue through final prep for show-finish polish.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Maintain for coat quality; may help maintain intake in stressed animals.
Stacking Protocols
Complement to Fast Fat — Fast Fat provides cover, Fast Fuel provides coat and palatability. Both can run simultaneously. MoorGame adds bloom and muscle on top.
Budget Alternatives
- Sunglo In Motion — comparable coat/joint topdress (different mechanism)
- Commodity wheat germ oil — much cheaper fat-soluble vitamin E source; lacks the full ingredient stack
