TOPIGS Introduces New Feeding Advice for Sows
06 October 2011
NETHERLANDS - TOPIGS is introducing a new feeding advice for their sows. Nowadays, highly productive sows have different nutritional needs compared to sows a few years ago. Sow feeding guidelines therefore need to be continuously updated.
With the
new feeding advice for lactating sows, sows before insemination and sows during
gestation, farmers now have better tools for achieving maximum production and
for realising more of the high genetic potential of the TOPIGS sow.
After several years of investigation, research and validation the TOPIGS
nutritional team has introduced a new feeding advice specifically for their
genetics. TOPIGS now provides specific feeding advices for its TOPIGS 20 and
TOPIGS 40 lines, as it had become clear that the two lines had different
nutritional requirements.
In the new feeding advice separate nutritional requirements are given for
primiparous and multiparous sows. Sows can therefore be fed more precisely and
in line with their needs. TOPIGS has also developed two separate manuals for the
Corn – Soybean and Wheat – Barley orientated markets.
