One of the most important phases in pig breeding is weaning time. During this period, piglets begin a stage of intensive growth and it is necessary to stimulate the development of the digestive system.
Research on sodium butyrate show its capability to accelerate the development of the intestinal villi and inhibit the growth of bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family. Moreover, young animals are very sensitive to deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide them with products which are rich in amino acids, fatty acid salts and ADEK vitamins. This accelerates the development of the animals and decreases future fattening time.
In order to prevent losses, INTERMAG has prepared excellent proven solutions:
• SUPLEXAN® INTRO
• SUPLEXAN® ADEK Premium
• SUPLEXAN® BIOTIN
• AFTER-BIOTIC
Benefits
facilitates a good start for the gastrointestinal tract
regulates liver function
supports proper development of fingers
provides electrolyte supplementation
limits incidents of diarrhoea and indigestion
improves feed intake and digestibility
Pig diarrhoea causes immediate dehydration and a decrease in growth rate. It is particularly dangerous in young piglets, where untreated diarrhoea may cause many falls.
In such situations, it is necessary to act quickly, and provide the animals with large amounts ofelectrolytes and the proper amount of vitamin C. These supplements help maintain the water-electrolyte balance and prevent excessive cachexia.
To prevent diarrhoea INTERMAG suggest the use of:
• SUPLEXAN® ANTI Stress
Benefits
mitigates the effects of stress
increases feed utilisation and daily weight gains
rehydrates the body of the animal and replenishes the electrolyte level
improves fat metabolism, reduces the risk of fatty liver
increases conservation of methionine
reduces energy losses
increases muscle mass
enhances proper composition and function of the bone tissue
results in drier litter
The proper and rapid growth of the weaner is the main factor determining the profitability of fattening.
During changes in feed regimen or periods of heightened susceptibility to microorganisms, it is crucial to maintain and ensure correct growth rate. In pigs, improvement of liver function and prevention of pathogen growth in the body are the key factors for successful rearing.
Choline, carnitine, and betaine, by regulating digestion in the body, inhibit periods of indigestion after a change in feed. Essential garlic oil, due to its high phytoncidic content, acts as an immune stimulator by increasing lymphocyte activity and increasing the production of cytokinins.
To prevent diarrhoea INTERMAG suggest the use of:
• SUPLEXAN® ALLIUM
• SUPLEXAN® HEPA
• SUPLEXAN® KARNI
Benefits
supports the immune system
fewer digestive and respiratory system infections
increases feed intake
enhanced appetite
weight loss compensation
higher growth rate
meat quality improvement
In sow breeding, it is very important to maintain high fertility. The proper development of the reproductive system is correlated, among other factors, with vitamin E and selenium levels in the diet, and these should be assured by their proper supplementation.
Vitamin A, biotin and zinc in turn support fertility, ovarian function and ensure proper development of genitals and reduce deaths of embryos. Taking care to ensure the correct level of these compounds will prevent sows from being lost and incurring financial losses.
There are two INTERMAG products that contribute to the highest quality of genetic material:
• SUPLEXAN® VIGOR
• SUPLEXAN® BIOTIN
Benefits
stimulates the immune system function
shows beneficial effects on fertility
reduces the amount of nitrogen excreted into the environment
reduces the risk of ovarian cysts development
mitigates skin inflammation
supports proper development of digits
supplements biotin and zinc deficiencies
Modern pig breeding methods increasingly lead to the occurrence of urinary tract diseases. The most important factors that can lead to inflammation are sow congestion and insufficient water supply.
Another problem is feeding periods with high protein content. In many cases, increased urinary calcium excretion occurs and causes the development of urate flaws and kidney stones.
Prophylaxis of such cases can be achieved by improving urine flow. The protective effect of this increased flow relies on increased water consumption and acceleration of diuresis. As a result of this increased diuresis, growth of bacteria and the formation of stones in the urinary system are avoided.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• SUPLEXAN® REN
Benefits
prevents gout
aids in the treatment of kidney stones
regulates renal and hepatic functions
aids during urogenital system diseases
limits side effects of antibiotic treatment
supports the organism during heat stress
prevents dyspepsia
One of the key organs responsible for the correct number of litters in sows and the proper growth of the animals is the liver.
This organ is responsible for the proper regulation of energy levels in the body, and the conversion of ammonia into urea. Intensive feeding, breeding or antibiotic therapy may impair the liver, leading to hepatic degeneration and, in many cases, it may reduce the duration of animal exploitation.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• SUPLEXAN® HEPA – effectively protects and supports the function of the liver and pancreas. Its high content of turmeric extract improves the functioning of liver and pancreas through more efficient metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, as well as better absorption of proteins. Due to its properties, the product stimulates the secretion of bile, which results in increased appetite and feed utilisation.
Benefits
regulates liver and pancreas functions
supports the liver during feeding with high-energy feed
supports the treatment of fatty liver syndrome
mitigates the effects of feed, bacterial toxin and antibiotic treatment intoxication
provides liver protection during high productivity periods
Heat stress affects all groups of animals. This is a challenging factor in large scale pig breeding. Due to the anatomical structure of animals and the high level of ammonia at immense densities, heat stress makes breathing more difficult.
Complementary administration of electrolytes or carnitine has an influence on water transport, supporting water stability, intestinal function, as well as regulating energy metabolism, which helps control the stimulation of the animals and reduces the negative effects of stress.
INTERMAG has prepared excellent proven solutions:
• SUPLEXAN® ANTI Stress
• SUPLEXAN® KARNI
• AFTER-BIOTIC
Benefits
increases feed intake
increases water consumption
regulates energy metabolism
increases secretion of digestive enzymes
limits effects of stress caused by heat and transport
improves gastrointestinal motility
regulates liver and pancreas functions
reduces the effects of stress
reduces number of falls
During the rearing period in pigs, we encounter many sensitive phases that require additional supplementation of micro-and macro-elements.
This is related to the breeding cycles of sows and gilts, but also to the specific rearing of weaners. Products based on the B and ADEK groups of vitamins or biotin and amino acids perfectly meet these challenges.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• SUPLEXAN® ADEK Premium
• SUPLEXAN® B Complex
• SUPLEXAN® BIOTIN
Benefits
increases feed intake
increases water consumption
improves gastrointestinal motility
reduces number of falls
Acidification of feeds is primarily aimed to reduce intestinal acidity (pH regulation) and therefore promote the growth of pathogenic microflora, which best develop at a pH between 6.0 and 7.5, while the poorest growth is seen at a pH between 4.0 to 5.5.
The levels of toxic ammonia and biogenic amines in the small intestine also decrease, which improves protein, mineral and lipid absorption. All ph lowering agents improve the immunity of animals to intestinal diseases. The addition of acidifiers to animal feeds creates a protective barrier against pathogens and promotes favourable conditions for digestion and absorption of feed components.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• ACIDIN
Benefits
limits the growth of pathogenic bacteria (colibacillosis, salmonellosis)
lowers the pH of the gastrointestinal tract
improves the digestibility of feed
activates digestive enzymes
improves production indicators
maintains normal bacterial flora
