Schaumann introduces Bi-lactal Dessert for piglets

Schaumann is introducing a new "sweet course" for piglets, a creamy milk mash designed for the supplementary feeding of large litters.

This new product, termed Bi-lactal Dessert, represents a beneficial way of supplementing the sows' milk. Low losses in the suckling piglet production phase are the basis for successful weaner production.

Bi-Lactal Dessert is rich in highly-digestible nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It contains Bonvital for a stable gastro-intestinal flora and more health security. Readily available fat sources support the energy balance and protect piglets' own energy reserves, especially important during the first week of life. Its special composition encourages feed consumption and supports development of the digestive system. The resultant improved feed consumption (over 500g dry matter intake) increases growth performance up to weaning.

Bi-Lactal Dessert can be offered as early as the first day of piglet life right after the colostrum intake phase.
