[QUOTE="skcatlman, post: 321301, member: 5562"] Attention mainshowgirl Feeding fat is it animal based? Remenber cattle aren't carnivors !!!!! You need to take a class in rumen microbiology and truely understand how the digestive system of a ruminant works. An animal fat supplement is a risky proposition do you know of the potential problems that can result from doing this. Plant based oils are also high in energy but present problems as well. To put flesh on fast feed a high energy grain based ration but you need to adjust over to this type of ration over time and watch for acidosis, grain overload and founder. You have to put in the work to get the results. As far as pushing the fat supp until the animal is loose the backing him off you are upsetting the natural microbiological makeup in the rumen . There is a chance the rumen and reticulum may never function properly the rest of her life. As far as keeping an apetite up the key is exercise if an animal is burning energy exercising they will keep that fresh hard look. The muscle mass will increase like a body builder but the trick is feeding surplus energy so that the animal fattens with a hard cover. As far as keeping hair and getting it growing the least expensive way is evaporative cooling and elbow grease. AKA fans, misters and combing. Please send me your opinion back, if you can find flaws in my logic back i would be glad to explain myself.[/quote] [/QUOTE]
