Overview
Show Road Appetite Express+ Paste is the travel and show-day format of Sullivan’s Appetite Express concept — delivering 8 billion live bacteria + 8 billion live yeast per 10cc dose alongside Vitamin B12, vitamins A, D, E, niacin, and thiamine. Where the Appetite Express Probiotic Granules are a daily long-running top-dress, this paste is the concentrated show-circuit version for acute use — starting several days before travel and continuing through the show. Available in a 60cc tube ($18.99 at Grange Co-op).

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Appetite Express+ paste is the gut-health anchor of the Show Road system. Starting a few days before the show, it begins loading the gut with live cultures — so by the time the animal is stressed by loading and hauling, its gut flora is already reinforced and more resilient to disruption. At the show, continued dosing maintains gut function and aggressive appetite in an environment where stress commonly shuts animals off feed.
Paste vs. granule distinction: The granule product is the long-term daily supplement run throughout the season; this paste is the acute-use travel format with a higher per-dose microbial count and the convenience of paste delivery without measuring granules.
Phase Protocols
Days 3–2 Before Show
- Rate: 10–15cc/day
- Purpose: Pre-load gut flora before travel stress; build microbial resilience
Show Day
- Rate: 10–15cc once or twice daily at the show
- Purpose: Maintain gut function and appetite in the show environment
Stacking Protocols
