Medicated piglet feeds.
There are big variations in production
systems in the pig industry and even within
one unit the performance may vary over
time because of fuctuations in health
status, for example. This, and other factors,
can lead to differences in the number and
weight of piglets and the weaning weight.
Such variations within and between units
present different nutritional demands
and very often one feeding program is not
suffcient. Therefore, Provimi has developed
three feeding programs for piglets. This
ensures that your piglets get off to the
best possible start with the right diets that
help to guarantee healthy animals that
reach their target weights as effciently
as possible. The nutritional programs are
HeavyPig, EasyPig and HealthyPig and they
are designed to provide the best care for
your piglets.
An optimal combination of rawmaterials
and additives offers the perfect balance
between performance and safety. Choosing
the most relevant program for your business
will give you the best economical results.
