Technical Information Swine

Summary Intestinal colonisation by Lawsonia intracellularis represents an economic risk to more than 80% of swine herds with either sub-clinical performance loss or clinical signs of proliferative enteritis (Collins, 2013). Helping to control the disease without the need for antimicrobials can help...

SUMMARY This trial showed that Orego-Stim® is able to support sow lactation performance and piglet weaning weights on a commercial farm in the absence of zinc oxide. No impact of removing therapeutic zinc levels from piglet diets was seen in...

SUMMARY Driving piglet performance through improved maternal gut health is a cost-effective way to maximise lifetime performance and health of growing piglets as those lost prior to weaning represent an economic loss as well as a welfare target. This work...

OREGO-STIM SUPPORTS HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE IN SUCKLING PIGLETS WITH DIARRHOEA

SUMMARY Piglet diarrhoea is a widespread and significant challenge for producers and is associated with a negative impact on piglet health and performance. Piglets suffering from diarrhoea and supplemented with Orego-Stim had lower mortality and greater bodyweight at weaning than those treated with antibiotics. Orego-Stim is a natural solution which has been shown to help reduce the impact of diarrhoea on piglet health and performance in the absence of antibiotics.

A unique, synergistic blend of mixed natural mineral silicates for feed quality management. Designed for use across all farmed livestock, especially breeding animals.

 

Orego-Stim and Anpario’s Acid Based Eubiotics (ABE) are effective in managing sow gut health and improving progeny performance.

Recent advances in commercial EU dam genetic lines have led to sows producing more piglets born alive, leading to more finished pigs than ever before. 

The modern day prolific sow faces many challenges in regards to her general health and lifetime performance. One commonly forgotten area in sow management is gut health. Ensuring the gut is well balanced and rich in diversity can help to improve sow feed efficiency, liveability and ensure the carryover of a healthy bacterial population to her litter.
