  • Support intestinal health6,7
  • Aid in vitality and supports pig survival rate (-36%)3
  • Enhance nutrient utilization in piglets5 and sows4
  • Improve nutritional quality of milk in lactating sows4
  • Optimize piglet uniformity at birth and weaning8
  • Promote increased feed intake to reduce body weight loss of sows at weaning (-25%)4
  • Support an increase in litter size and weight through increased sow feed intake2
  • Enhance stress tolerance in sows and piglets2,7
  • Improve sows’ fertility and shortens reproduction4
