Every pig farmer is unique in its objectives and challenges. That is why we made it easier for you to make the right choice. We offer two concept lines that can be tailored to your specific needs: the Big Litter line, which is designed to increase survival rate through replacement of sow milk, and the Robust Litter line, which is formulated to prepare the piglet for weaning. By working together with you, we determine which line will suit your needs best.
Piglets increase their birth weight more than fivefold in the first month of life. To grow that fast they need a lot of nutrients. In fact, more nutrients than at any other time in their life.
For farms with hyperprolific sows, providing sufficient energy to each individual piglet is critical. In large litters, increasing survival rate is key. Alongside this, if improving efficiency is an objective (e.g. by reducing cross-fostering) or in case of independent (motherless) rearing, it is essential to have a milk replacer that provides all the necessary nutrients and bioactives.
Aside from colostrum, piglets in big litters largely, if not entirely, rely on supplemented milk instead of sow milk to survive. The Big Litter line provides a 100% solution.
Not only the piglets benefit from supplementation with Big Litter milks. The pressure on a hyperprolific sow will be reduced, which in turn results in less backfat loss and improved reproductive performance in the next litter.
