Understanding the challenges
A combination of a low protein diet, supplemented by essential amino acids, and functional feed additives such as probiotics is an effective alternative to the use of antibiotics in weaned pig diets to reduce the incidence of diarrhea, contributing to improved animal welfare while maintaining optimal performance.
Feed efficiency is key to reducing production costs in swine farming. This can be realized by formulating low protein diets, supplemented with essential amino acids and functional feed additives to keep pigs healthy and ensure optimal growth performance.
As feed costs continue to rise, optimizing feed utilization becomes increasingly important for profitability. Pig farmers need to ensure that their animals receive the right nutrients to support health and performance in the most precise and efficient way – with low protein diets, supplemented with amino acids and functional feed additives such as probiotics.
Reducing nitrogen excretion and ammonia emissions is a top priority in pork production. These emissions are mainly caused by a high level of crude protein in the feed. Formulating diets with reduced crude protein levels and balancing them with crystalline amino acids is an effective way to effectively reduce nitrogen excretion and ammonia emissions without compromising performance.
With numerous players in the swine industry, staying ahead of competitors means adopting new technologies and practices that enhance production efficiency and product quality. Our feed-related services can also make a difference.
Targeted gut health solutions for enhanced swine performance
Evonik’s Gut Health Concept is central to our approach to swine nutrition. This concept emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for optimal digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. By focusing on gut health, we help farmers improve animal welfare and productivity, ensuring that pigs thrive in a healthy and sustainable environment.
