Water intake at 12 hours post-weaning Study 20-026-P-P (USA)
- N=5,114 pigs
- Tonisity PxW or farm water administered for 5 days post-weaning
- Tonisity PxW was consumed from the moment the pigs arrived at their post- weaning pens, reaching a 40% better intake by 12 hours post-weaning when compared to water alone
Rapid start on water = rapid start on feed
1.7x higher water intake over 5 days (P = 0.002)
Meta-analysis 2020.06-TON-META-PXW (USA)
- 7 commercial wean-finish farms
- N=31,861 pigs
- Weaning age 16-23 days
- Travel time Farrowing to Nursery 3-15 hours
- Tonisity PxW or farm water administered for 5 days post-weaning
Post-weaning water intake increased by 1.7 times (P=0.002)
Study 20-047-P-P (USA)
- Gilt multiplication farm (Topigs TN70 genetics)
- High-health status
- N=5,665 pigs (8 batches)
- Weaning age ~21 days, travel time from farrowing to nursery was 3 hours
- Tonisity PxW or Electrolyte B administered for 5 days post-weaning
300g extra body weight at end-nursery when compared to a commercial electrolyte
3.4x higher water intake over 3 days
Studies 20-026-P-P and 20-035-P-P (USA)
- N=5,962 pigs
- Tonisity PxW administered for 5 days post weaning
- Water was treated with either amoxicillin or gentamycin
- 2.1x higher water intake over 5 days post weaning
- 6x higher water intake on day one
Tonisity PxW ensured optimal waterline antibiotic usage
Meta-analysis 2020.06-TON-META-PXW (USA)
- 4 wean-finish farms
- N=17,070 pigs
- Weaning age 16-23 days
- Tonisity PxW administered for 5 days post weaning
Producer benefit = 22 extra full-value pigs – per 1,000 weaned.
Fall-behinds (smaller, low-performing pigs) will require extra care and work. Reducing the number of fall-behinds means it will be easier to manage the post-weaning and fattening units.
2020.06-TON-META-PXW (USA)
- N=15,286 pigs
- 3 USA farms
- Weaning age 16-23 days
- Tonisity PxW administered for 5 days post weaning
Producer benefits = 13 extra pigs per 1,000 weaned
An innovative and palatable combination of key amino acids, prebiotics and electrolytes that hydrates and supports the gut to help weaned piglets during stressful transition periods.
Weaning is one of the most stressful events in a pig’s life. If pigs don’t start drinking early post-weaning, feeding is delayed, leading to weight loss, disease, and even mortality. By boosting water intake while supporting the gut through stressful periods, Tonisity PxW WeanBetter ensures pigs are off to a great start. Encourage water intake in newly-weaned pigs or pigs being transported with Tonisity PxW WeanBetter.
Tonisity PxW is designed to be administered to pigs after weaning through water lines.
Tonisity PxW comes in 1kg resealable bags.
Pigs drink Tonisity PxW less than half an hour after arrival.
We have conducted extensive research on the effects of Tonisity PxW on post-weaning pig performance

Add 1kg of Tonisity PxW powder to 4L of water to make a liquid concentrated solution in a suitable container
Mix well until dissolved
The concentrated solution of Tonisity PxW should be delivered through the water lines using an automatic dosing system, with the dilution rate set at 1 part of concentrated Tonisity PxW to 100 parts water (1:100). 5L of concentrate supplies 500 weaners for a day.
We suggest using either a 3-day or 5-day protocol. For best results, we suggest using the 5-day protocol. Weaned pigs should receive a full dose on day one and a half or quarter dose on the remaining days of the protocol, to allow for a smooth transition to just water.
