Support the piglet's gut and avoid diarrhoea
A healthy and well-functioning gut is essential for a good piglet performance. Since 70-80% of the immune cells are located in the gut, a healthy gut, means a healthy piglet (Furness et al., 1999). Supporting the intestinal health of the pi ...

Roles of fibre fermentation in monogastric animals: 3. Dual action microbiome stimulator "Signis" maximises fibre fermentation
In the previous editions, benefits of increasing post-ileal fibre fermentation through supplementation of β-1,4-endo-xylanase and the ability of xylanase + xylo-oligosaccharides to train microbiota to maximise fibre fermentation were d ...

Building resilient pigs and sustainable environments
The impending phase-out of the use of zinc oxide (ZnO) in the European Union (EU) taking effect in 2021 creates a challenge for producers who will be raising healthy piglets without ZnO. Anticipating this shift away from ZnO, the industry i ...
