During this period, the pigs digest feed well containing a large amount of crude fiber, however, non-starch polysaccharides and phytates contained reduce the digestibility of nutrients resulting in the decrease of growth rate.
In warm periods of the year, due to the lack of sweat glands in animals, the need for available energy is less than necessary for life support processes.
When the ambient temperature drops below the ideal one, the need for available energy increases, yet excessive protein consumed is not digested.
Possible issues
-
high feed conversion rate;
-
diseases induced by the opportunistic pathogenic microflora (swine dysentery).
Solution in feeding optimisation
It is recommended to use enzyme complexes with pre-starter complete food for improvement of nutrition value and better feed digestion:
For multi-component diets – FEKORD 2015-B (group 2).
For all types of diet:
-
FITAZIM-S is a thermally stable phytase for increasing the use of phosphorus, calcium and other feed nutrients.
-
DIATOKS-ULTRA is a mycotoxins sorbent (yeast cell walls, activated sapropel, calcium carbonate) providing a high level of protection against mycotoxins and opportunistic pathogenic microflora. To be applied with complete food at a dose of 1 to 3 kg per ton.
-
TETRABIOTIC-SPK is a probiotic (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis и Enterococcus faecallis). It is used for the prophylaxis of gastrointestinal diseases, replaces antibiotics. To be applied with complete food at a dose of 0,5 kg per ton.
-
GUMINOBIOTIC. It provides biological effects of elevated productivity and swine resistance through synergy of its active components. It has hepatoprotective, antioxidant, adaptogenic, immunostimulative and general metabolic effect.
Results of feeding programme application:
-
swine survivability increase by 5%;
-
increased average daily gain in weight by up to 12%;
-
reduction of feed costs by 14.5%;
-
reduction of veterinary costs by 42%.
