A Focus on BioPlus^® 2B

BioPlus^® 2B is an in-feed probiotic that beneficially effects the balance of the intestinal flora of pigs. Maintaining the integrity of the gastro-intestinal flora affects increased weight gain, improved feed conversion and increased viability of pigs of all ages: piglets, grower-finishers and sows.

BioPlus^® 2B provides a reliable solution for pig producers.
It has been proven in more than 40 scientifically designed and controlled trials that BioPlus^® 2B significantly improves pig production when used in feed for sows, piglets, grower and finisher pigs.

BioPlus^® 2B consistently improves pig production
In piglets and grower-finisher pigs BioPlus^® 2B increases liveweight gain and improves feed conversion. When fed to sows BioPlus^® 2B reduces preweaning mortality and increases weaned litter weight.

When used in piglet feed BioPlus^® 2B improves feed conversion on average by 5% and weight gain by 10%. Through stabilizing the intestinal flora the use of BioPlus^® 2B effects reduction in piglet diarrhoea and enhanced viability.

When sows are fed rations with BioPlus^® 2B, piglet mortality is reduced from an average 10-13% to 7% and weight loss of the sows is reduced as well.

Latest research show significant increase in litter size at weaning of approximately 8% and a significant decrease in preweaning piglet mortality by 5% when BioPlus^® 2B is given to lactating sows.



BioPlus^® 2B is thermo-tolerant hence can be blended into the feed even before pelletizing.

The science behind BioPlus^® 2B, and the documentation submitted in order to obtain the approval of the European Union, provided significant (p<0.05) evidence that BioPlus^® 2B consistently improves pig production and has a reliable affect and considerable return on investment for pig producers under differing geographical and management conditions.
