In the ever-evolving world of agriculture, innovations in animal care are critical for improving productivity and profitability. A recent study, conducted on a commercial pig farm in Belgium, examines: Tonisity PxM, a highly-palatable isotonic milk replacer additive, helps piglets overcome key productivity hurdles. This article delves into the findings of this study, which assessed the effects of Tonisity PxM on reducing fall-behinds at weaning and lowering pre-weaning mort

A recent study conducted on a 450-sow farm in France investigated the role of Tonisity Px. The trial evaluated its effectiveness in reducing pig mortality, boosting growth and lowering fall-behinds. Administered from days two to eight of life and for three days before and after weaning, Tonisity Px was shown to significantly impact key performance indicators. The findings confirm that Tonisity Px reduces pig mortality, fall-behinds and improves growth demonstrating notable re

This groundbreaking study underscores the significant impact of Tonisity Px on managing PEDV and improving swine health. As a patented isotonic protein drink, Tonisity Px directly nourishes the intestinal cells of livestock, such as piglets, enhancing nutrient absorption. Administered during the first week of life and around weaning, it is voluntarily consumed by even newborn piglets. The result is higher weight gain, lower mortality, and a reduced need for medications, all

Water is a unique nutrient. Even though it is essential to maintaining life, it is difficult to determine water intake requirements since it can’t be studied like other nutrients. Due to its chemical makeup and overwhelming presence in the body, water is the key to successful bodily function. To best optimise water’s benefits, it must be ensured that the supplied water source is of adequate quality for pigs to have a good foundation for growth. What determines water quality?

Colostrum contains essential maternal antibodies (immunoglobulins) that can eliminate bacteria and viruses, providing passive immunity to the piglets. This is crucial because piglets are born without immune protection, and it takes time for them to develop their own active immunity. Colostrum also supplies energy and highly digestible nutrients essential for the piglets, enabling them to start suckling and grow faster. Colostrum is produced by the sow just after the birth of

In the dynamic landscape of agriculture, finding innovative solutions that not only improve productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability is paramount. One such ground-breaking product making waves in the pig farming industry is Tonisity Px, the first isotonic drink for piglets, which supplies rapid energy for the enterocytes (the intestinal cells responsible for absorption of nutrients) and promotes a healthy microbiome. This disruptive solution is not jus

While last February we were estimating that the total sow population in China was somewhere between 35 to 40 million heads, right now that figure is (officially) around 45 million sows. Two production models coexist: large, integrated farms and family farms. The top 50 pig producing enterprises have a total output of about 250 million pigs, and, from January to September, 13 enterprises slaughtered a bit more than 100 million pigs (see Figure 1). The top 3 (Muyuan, Wens and N

In the farrowing room, the first week of the piglet’s life is critical, with 75% of pre-weaning mortality occurring during that period. Fast growth, eff

Feeding pigs is one of the most critical tasks in a commercial pig farm. The success and profitability of the farm depend on how well the pigs are fed. Traditional feeding systems have been in use for decades, but with the advancement of technology, innovative feeding systems have emerged to improve pig feeding efficiency and reduce labour costs. These systems not only optimise feed usage but also improve pig welfare and reduce the environmental footprint of pig farming. Some
