Swine

Steady growth from weaning to finish

Most of the risk in a pig operation sits at weaning and around the feed. We help swine producers hold gut health steady through the weaning transition, control the toxin load in the diet, and give piglets the early support they need, so the herd grows on nutrition rather than on antibiotics.

Gut Health and Antibiotic Reduction

Get pigs through weaning on a healthy gut

Weaning is the hardest thing you ask a pig to do. Diet, environment, and social group all change at once, feed intake drops, gastric acidification is still developing, and the gut barrier is under pressure right when enteric pathogens are ready to exploit it. Post-weaning diarrhea and dysbiosis are the usual result, and they are the reason antibiotics get used routinely in this phase.
Preventive nutrition takes the pressure off that transition. Organic acids support gastric acidification and hold back pathogenic bacteria in feed and water. Phytomolecules and essential oils stabilize the microbiota and support digestion and the gut lining. Better nutrient release means less undigested protein and starch reaching the hindgut, which is exactly what pathogenic bacteria feed on.

Products

Ventar D and the Activo line for microbiota balance and gut function; Acidomix for gastric acidification and feed and water hygiene; Axxess XY to improve nutrient release and reduce fermentable substrate in the hindgut.

Toxin Risk 
Management

Protect the flock from the toxins in the feed

Pigs are among the most sensitive species to mycotoxins, and sows most of all. Deoxynivalenol suppresses feed intake and immunity. Zearalenone disrupts reproduction and shows up directly in sow fertility and piglet viability. Contamination is rarely a single toxin, and the combined effect sits below the clinical threshold while it quietly costs feed conversion, litter size, and uniformity.

The answer is a structured process rather than a reaction. Plan the risk from your raw materials, sample feed and animals, prepare the mitigation, and test to confirm. Broad-spectrum binders and toxin-management products cut the load the animal absorbs, which protects gut integrity, immune function, and reproductive performance.

Young Animal Nutrition

Close the immunity gap in the piglet

Piglets are born almost without immune protection. The structure of the sow’s placenta means antibodies are not transferred in the womb, so the newborn depends entirely on colostrum, and the window is short. Within roughly 12 hours of birth the piglet can absorb only about a quarter of the antibodies it could take up at birth. Add low body fat reserves, low feed intake, and a limited digestive capacity, and the early days become the highest-risk period in the pig’s life.
Early nutrition targets that gap directly. Egg immunoglobulins (IgY) supply targeted passive immune support against specific enteric pathogens when the piglet’s own defenses are not yet working. Support at the sow level and around weaning keeps intake up and the gut developing on schedule.
