Gut Health Starts With the Sow
Through microbiome modification and by supporting the immune system, Actisaf® improves sow colostrum quality, milk yield and reproductive performance, which leads to better lifetime performance of her piglets.
Due to challenges associated with hyperprolifacy, it can be difficult to ensure each piglet receives sufficient, good quality colostrum in the farrowing house. Colostrum intake is essential for piglet immunity, growth, and survival - particularly in the critical hours immediately after birth. Producing enough colostrum for the whole litter demands a lot of energy, and sows obtain around 30% of their energy requirement from dietary fibre.
Therefore, enhancing dietary fibre digestion and maintaining an optimal body condition score can support overall sow health and contribute to more uniform piglet growth. Additionally, supporting immunity improves colostrum quality and production. Ultimately, this approach plays a vital role in producing more robust piglets and ensuring the profitability and sustainability of pig production systems.
Including Actisaf® in sow diets supports sow health and digestion and improves piglet lifetime performance when fed at a rate of 0.5kg/tonne of feed throughout gestation and 1kg/tonne during lactation.
For lifetime piglet performance
Feeding Actisaf® at a rate of 1kg/tonne feed in the last 4 weeks of gestation and through lactation can bring significant performance improvements throughout a piglet's life span:
