Bridge the Weaning Dip with Terragut: The Power of Natural Minerals for Healthy Piglets
Running a pig farm comes with numerous challenges, and one of the biggest is the weaning period. This time can be stressful for both piglets and farmers. The transition to a new environment and a change in feed brings uncertainty for young piglets, whose intestines are still in a crucial developmental stage. How can we support piglets and successfully bridge the weaning dip? Here’s where Terragut steps in: an innovative feed additive based on natural minerals with proven effects on piglet gut health.
The Challenge of the Weaning Period
For pig farmers, the weaning period is a critical stage. It’s when piglets leave the sow and begin solid food. This shift often comes with stress as piglets adapt to a new environment, different feed, and the absence of the mother. It’s no surprise that this is a difficult time for both piglets and farmers.
At the same time, the intestines of young piglets are still developing. A healthy gut flora is essential for good digestion and nutrient absorption. When gut health is compromised, issues such as diarrhoea, reduced growth, and poor feed conversion may arise.
Terragut: The Solution to the Weaning Dip
Terragut is a revolutionary feed additive specifically developed to support weaned piglets during the early stages of weaning. This unique product has a proven positive impact on piglet gut microbiota and gut health. How does Terragut work?
Terragut is based on two minerals from the lanthanide group: cerium and lanthanum. These minerals promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while slowing the growth of harmful bacteria, supporting a healthy gut flora and improved digestion in piglets.
Scientifically Proven Results
Terragut’s effectiveness has been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies and field trials. The feed additive is approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), meeting the highest standards of quality and safety.
Tests at PigFarm, a leading pig farm, revealed remarkable improvements in the health and growth of weaned piglets. Terragut has shown to enhance nutrient absorption and support better faeces consistency, feed conversion, and growth.
Practical Application
Terragut is included in several weaning feeds, such as Safe Start 3 and Safe Start Junior. It’s EFSA-approved as a feed additive, meaning its technical results have been proven across various trials.
Terragut is not only a solution for the weaning dip but an investment in the future health and growth of your piglets. With the power of natural minerals, you’re giving your piglets a healthy start in their new life post-weaning. The result? Healthier, stronger pigs and a more productive pig farming operation.
