Critical Point:

• Development of the muscular system and future growth potential
• Colostrum is the main source of energy and immunity for piglets

Produmix Initiative:

• During pregnancy, provides an optimal level of vitamins and minerals that nourish the placenta and support the development of
  vital organs (liver and lungs)
• Stimulation of antibody production through phytonutrients, which are passed on to the colostrum
• Implementation of ‘aroma breeding’, which creates an imprinting effect, reducing post-weaning stress and encouraging
  feed intake in later stages

Critical Point:

• Transition to solid foods
• Impaired thermoregulation
• Lack of sufficient digestive enzymes

Produmix Initiative:

• Using the same aromas as in the embryonic stage to improve palatability and encourage consumption
• Prebiotics, probiotics and exogenous enzymes to aid the transition to solid food and maximise
  feed utilisation

Critical Point:

• Immature digestive and immune systems
• Intestinal villous atrophy
• High risk of diarrhoea

Produmix Initiative:

• A formula containing enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics to improve digestibility and the utilisation of phytic phosphorus
• Gut flora stabilisers that act as a biological barrier against pathogens
• Result: higher average daily gain (ADG) and better feed conversion ratio (FCR)

Critical Point:

• Immature digestive system
• Variation in plot growth
• The need for differentiated management approaches

Produmix Initiative:

• Feed formulations designed to maximise growth at the lowest cost
• Reduction in the proportion of small piglets in the batch
• High gut health that reduces the use of antibiotics
