Optimizing sow longevity and sow performance over a lifetime is the foundation for maximizing sow health, welfare, and performance efficiency of the breeding herd as well as its progeny, leading to a more sustainable swine production. There is a significant cost associated to early culling or the trend for hyper-prolific sows and death of a sow, and sow mortality has been steadily increasing over the last decade. With associated increased metabolic stress, modern sows can be more susceptible to on-farm health, nutrition, and management challenges, leading to higher culling and mortality rates. Among the challenges faced by the breading stock, mycotoxins, present in a wide range of sow feed and raw materials, compromise animal welfare, reduce animal performance, and affect the sustainability and profitability of the entire value chain.
Our local pig experts will work closely with you to assess your mycotoxin risk, both in raw materials and the complete sow feed. We offer different analysis methods that reveal not only the most common mycotoxins, but also hidden and emerging mycotoxins.
You’ll receive a complete, personalized report on your level of risk, and then our experts will advise you on the best solutions to reduce premature sow mortality and support sow health and sow performance, sow longevity and successful sow reproduction.
