The role of the health of the sow is increasingly important to the productivity of the farms. Until recently, sow’s health was primarily focused on obtaining more pigs per sow per year and reducing non-productive days, but we know now that it is possible to enhance the health status of piglets by improving the condition of the sow.
Phyto-active ingredients contribute to the health of the sow and impact indirectly on the health and productivity of the piglets in two different ways:
1) Enhancing digestive health of the sow
2) Improving its quality of milk and colostrum
The trial takes place in 3 houses. Each house is divided into control group (normal feed) and trial group (trial group was given phyto-active ingredients, starting 1 month before farrowing until end of lactation). All the other health and management programs were the same.
Feeding phyto-active ingredients during pregnancy and lactation showed a clear positive impact on:
The results are not statistically significant but show a positive trend in the following parameters: average weight of new born piglets and average days from weaning to oestrus.
The results of the trial confirmed that focusing on the digestive status of the sow during the final period of gestation and lactation is a practical way to prevent digestive diseases in piglets and enhance the general health of the litter.
Phyto-active ingredients also had a positive influence on the performance of the sow after weaning.
ReproPlus© is a premix powder intended to maintain and improve digestive health in pregnant and lactating sows. It is formulated with synergistic ingredients:
When administered during the last period of gestation, it has a positive impact on the survivability and the health of the litter.
