How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
In Motion is described by Sunglo as an “insurance policy” for the rapid growth curve of show livestock. Most feeders who use it start early in the program (weeks 12–9) and keep it in throughout. It doesn’t produce a visible show outcome on its own — it’s a foundation supplement to prevent lameness, cracking hooves, and skin issues that can derail a program.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: 2–4 oz/day throughout the program
- Introduction timeline: Start as early as project start for best results

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Continue at 2–3 oz/day. Supports structural soundness as animal gains weight and condition.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Continue at 2–4 oz/day through this phase.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Continue through final prep.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Continue at established rate through show.
Stacking Protocols
