Umbarger Cool Down is built for the phase of the project where pace matters and shape is everything. When pigs get too soft, too heavy, or less moveable on higher-energy grower/finisher rations, Cool Down helps trim the fat, tighten the look, and maintain muscle so animals stay sharp going into the barn.

Cool Down’s lower fat and balanced energy profile gives you a way to slow gain without stalling growth entirely—meaning pigs stay eating, stay active, and start to refocus condition back into muscle and shape instead of excess cover.

This makes Cool Down especially valuable when:

  • You’ve already built the pig’s base condition

  • You want a more refined look

  • You’re in show week or a hard keep phase

  • You want to protect handle while tightening cover

Key Benefits

  • Lower-energy formula to help tighten finish

  • Keeps pigs fresh, mobile, and moveable

  • Reduces risk of getting too soft or overly fat

  • Helps maintain muscle and shape while slowing extreme gain

  • Works well in show prep and holding phases

Choose Cool Down if:

  • Your pigs appear too soft, sloppy, or heavy on their current feed

  • You need to tighten cover without killing gain

  • You want to keep pigs fresh and moveable near show day

  • You’re moving into a holding phase where extreme gain is not the goal

  • You want a cleaner, more refined look while maintaining muscle

Cool Down may not be the best choice if:

  • Your pig still needs significant muscle build and cover early in the project

  • You’re pushing for maximum gain or aggressive finish

  • Intake is poor and the pig needs a higher-energy approach first

  • You prefer a start-to-finish base rather than a late-phase reset

  • Your program requires non-medicated feeds only

Cool Down is a lower-energy show pig feed formulated to help tighten cover, keep pigs mobile and fresh, and support a cleaner, more active look when closer to show day. It’s a smart “reset” tool for soft pigs or those needing a tighter finish without sacrificing condition.
