Swoop

Overview

Swoop is a multi-species fiber-based pellet designed to increase rib and body in market and breeding animals. It uses a palatable blend of high-quality fiber products to add fill and flank depth, and can also be used during reduced-feeding phases to maintain satiety when total feed intake is dialed back heading into the show. Priced at $47.00 per bag.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Swoop serves two functions in a show program: (1) building rib and body fill during the shaping phase, and (2) maintaining satiety during the final weeks when feeders reduce total grain intake to keep animals fresh and from carrying too much fill on show day. The fiber-based formula means it adds physical gut fill without significant energy or fat contribution.

Phase Protocols

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Introduce to build rib and body. Fiber-based fill is lower-risk for over-conditioning than fat-based products.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Use to maintain satiety while reducing grain intake. Keeps animals from feeling hungry and going off feed without adding fat.

Show Week (Days 5–1)

Continue to manage satiety and maintain fill through show day.

Stacking Protocols

With Fresh N Full: Complementary — Swoop adds fiber-based physical fill; Fresh N Full adds protein-based condition. Can be used together for animals that need maximum fill expression. As a grain replacement: During reduced-feeding phases, Swoop substitutes bulk without the energy load of grain.

Budget Alternatives

Commodity beet pulp (shredded, soaked) achieves a similar fiber-based fill effect at significantly lower cost. Soybean hulls serve a similar function. These commodity options require more management than a pellet product.
