If we are truly to succeed in allowing piglets to express their full growth potential and have a healthy start in life then their nutritional needs should be fully understood. Park Tonks have now identified a number of feed ingredients that can play an important role in the function and facilitation of the immune system, thus helping to maintain a healthy animal capable of rapid and efficient growth.

Considerable technical expertise in Pig Nutrition, focusing on weaning and stress related problems has enabled the development of a number of novel products. ViraMatrix is sold worldwide with over a quarter of a million pigs fed the product since 2001. More recently ApeelMatrix was launched at the Pig and Poultry fair and has created interest throughout the industry.

It is our firm belief that products of this type are the key to improving profitability in an environment subjected to an increasing disease challenges.
