PROLIFISOW: Improving Milk Production in Hyper Prolific Sows
A primary objective of pig farming is to market the maximum weight of pork in the shortest possible time. Achieving this requires high pre- and post-weaning growth rates and minimal mortality, which depends on the nutrients provided to the piglets. Piglets are born with low body fat reserves and immature immune systems, which makes them […]
Enhancing Productivity in Hyperprolific Sows with PROLIFISOW
Hyperprolific sows produce more piglets than they have functional teats, with modern sow lines usually having no more than 16. Hence, sows with more than 16 piglets per litter are known as hyperprolific. However, litters of 18–20 or more piglets are increasingly observed in pig production. Though such an increase in sow prolificacy is desirable […]
Boost Swine Growth and Health with Organic Calcium Supplement
Minerals and vitamins play a vital role in raising healthy and productive pigs. For pigs, some crucial minerals include calcium, phosphorus, and zinc. Calcium is one of the essential minerals required for growth, bone strength, reproductive health, immune function, and the overall health of pigs. Low calcium intake through diet also affects the pig’s overall health and causes economic […]
The Role of Natural Feed Supplements in the Management of Swine Diarrhea
Swine diarrhea, also referred to as pig diarrhea, is a common condition that can affect pigs at any stage of life, from piglets to adults. A healthy Gastro-Intestinal Tract (GIT) of pig performs various functions such as digestion, nutrient absorption, and regulation of intestinal barrier function. However, the GIT is a direct path for disease-causing organisms […]
NATURAL SOLUTION FOR LEAN PORK PRODUCTION
Pork is one of the most extensively consumed meat globally. It is a vital source of animal protein for humans because of its nutritional value, distinctive chemical composition, and well-balanced protein content. Fat content and composition, water holding capacity, color, oxidative stability, and uniformity are the main attributes determining pork quality. While it is true […]
DIABOULARD: A Phytogenic Antidiarrheal Supplement Revolutionizing Piglet Gut Health
The pig intestine is home to a dynamic microbial community that has a symbiotic interaction with the host and forms a complex ecosystem that is critical to the pig’s nutritional, physiological, and immunological functions. To meet production goals in the swine industry, piglets are weaned early and abruptly, which imposes enormous stress, that causes perturbations […]
Encouraging lean pork production through promising herbal supplements
Lean growth rate, lean efficiency (the kg of feed per kg of lean), and total production dollar cost per kg of lean is important traits for the future. Pork carcasses are graded according to the amount of edible meat they will yield. Number 1 carcass is one having the most satisfactory ratio of fat to […]
