    Glucoat

    Any one have any opinions/experiences on/with it?  Is it more of an appetite stimulator (which causes them to eat more and thus gain weight) or does it add cover as well(fat additive)?  If so, can it replace fat additives such as Powerfuel or Power Phat?

    Honor Power Fuel

    What is the best way to use this product?  Is it more benefical to use it from start to finish (like Champions Drive) or just in the finishing stages say last 60 days?  I have heard some prefer P.F. all the way through instead of C.D. and not use C.D.?  Any advantage to this?
