A trial made last June in a commercial farm confirms the effectiveness of ReproPlus© on increasing the litter size, reducing the percentage of stillborn piglets, increasing the number and weight of live animals and boosting the general productivity of the sow at farrowing. The trial group was given ReproPlus©, 10 grams/sow/day on top of the […]

Diarrhea, watery feces, digestive infections, inflammation of the intestinal tissues, etc are triggered by the exposure to high temperatures. In recent years, the gastrointestinal problems that happen during heat stress have been linked to a failure of the gut barrier function (leaky gut). […]
Continue Reading →A syndrome called “leaky gut” has gained quite a bit of attention lately in human medicine. The term “leaky gut syndrome” is used to describe the condition of “hyperpermeable intestines” that takes place when the intestinal lining becomes more porous and its barrier function is no longer functioning properly. The fallout results in larger, undigested […]

Pregnant and lactating sows are highly susceptible and mycotoxin contamination triggers a variety of clinical signs together with the worsening of productive parameters. But the negative effects of mycotoxins are not limited to the sows themselves. […]

There are at least 28 different forms of fumonisins, being fumonisin B1 the most common. The percentage of fumonisin-contaminated feedstuffs is rising in recent years, as climate change is causing extreme […]

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 […]
Continue Reading →Imbalance of sow’s gut flora has consequences on the productivity of the whole farm Constipation is a very common problem in late pregnant and lactating sows kept under close confinement, mainly due to insufficient fiber in feed or to lack of exercise. Heavier sows, from second parity onwards, are more affected than lighter sows. Whenever […]
