Mycotoxins, Endotoxins and Their Control
Mycotoxins and endotoxins impair animal health and immune status as well as feed production in various ways: these toxins are invisible, odorless and cannot be detected by smell or taste, but can significantly reduce pig performance, according to Radka...

Piglets Overcoming Post-Weaning Stress
Achieving good performance in growing pigs starts with ensuring the sow produces enough milk and after weaning, pathogenic bacteria can be combatted by feeding a combination of organic acids, cinnamaldehyde and a permeabilising substance, according to...

Mycotoxin Risk Management and the Successful Use of Enzyme-Producing Microorganisms
Mycotoxin risk management tool involves both the elimination of mycotoxins by adsorptive materials, and the conversion of their toxic structures into non-toxic, harmless metabolites, according to Inês Rodrigues, Technical Manager for Biomin Holding.

Effect of Urinary Acidifier on Reproduction Performance in Sows
Urinary tract infections (UTI) and Postpartum Disgalactia Syndrome (PPDS) syndrome are among the most common health problems in sow herds. Both diseases are caused by bacterial infections and influence the fertility of the sow herd.

Optimization of Swine Production by Use of Acidifiers
Weaning exposes piglets to nutritional, environmental and social stress that usually results in a postweaning lag phase manifested by slow growth and scouring.

Use of Anions and Cations in Sows
It has been shown that balancing the diet for anions and cations plays an important role in preventing milk fever in dairy cows. Therefore, why not benefit from this knowledge and use it in sows too?

Effect of Glycerides of Butyric, Caprylic and Capric Acids on Growth Performance in Weaned Pigs
The first weeks after weaning are critical stage for the piglets in terms of nutritional, environmental and physiological stresses leading to malabsorption coupled with reduced weight gain and increased morbidity and mortality rates.
