Sunglo Final Control™
High-protein top-dress to maintain muscle mass and shape during restricted feeding or holding programs
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
Sunglo Final Control™ is a 27% protein pelleted supplement designed for the holding and restricted-feeding phase when total ration intake is reduced to hit a target weight class. It supplies key amino acids (lysine, methionine), vitamins, and minerals to prevent muscle loss when calories are restricted, helping maintain the shape and hardness earned during the program. No added copper.

Key Ingredients / Active Components
- Key amino acids: lysine and methionine (muscle protein preservation)
- Zinc at 275 PPM — notable for skin and immune support
- No added copper
Official Feeding Rate
- Rate: 0.5–1 lb per head daily for sheep and goats
- Introduction: Designed for use with Sunglo show feeds when total intake is being restricted
- Species notes: Multi-species; pigs 1–2 lbs/day (total intake ≤4 lbs/day); cattle up to 5 lbs/day

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Final Control is used when a lamb is over weight class and needs to hold or come down while preserving shape. The protein and amino acid profile prevents muscle loss that commonly occurs when total feed is cut. Also used when holding an animal steady between shows in a busy show season.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: 0.5–1 lb/day depending on degree of restriction
- Introduction timeline: Introduced when the holding/restriction program begins, typically the final 2–3 weeks
Common Deviations from Label
No significant deviations found. Label rates align with circuit usage.
Breed-Specific Notes

Phase Protocols
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Use when restricting total feed intake to hit weight class. Replace a portion of base feed with Final Control to maintain nutrient density while reducing total calories.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Continue on restricted program if needed. Pair with Full Tank to maintain gut fill appearance while keeping caloric intake low.
Stacking Protocols
Pairs well with: Full Tank (maintains fill appearance during restriction), 4-Sure (electrolytes and hydration during holding stress). Final Control handles the protein/amino acid side of holding; Full Tank handles the physical fill side.
Budget Alternatives
- High-quality dry distillers grains or soybean meal as protein sources during restriction — lacks the targeted amino acid profile
