Pig -O- Mix

Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of successful pig farming, impacting growth, reproductive efficiency, feed conversion, and overall animal health. Modern pig genetics demand diets that go beyond basic feed ingredients to supply essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and functional additives. Stage-specific premixes, such as PIG-O-MIX, provide precisely what pigs need at each phase of their lifecycle.

1. Nutrient Requirements Across Growth Phases

Piglets, growing pigs, fattening pigs, and breeding stock have unique physiological and metabolic demands:

• Piglets (PIG-O-MIX 500): Rapid growth, immune system development, and intestinal maturation require a high concentration of vitamins (A, D₃, E, B-complex), minerals (Ca, P, Na, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn), and amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine).

• Fattening Pigs (PIG-O-MIX 600): Efficient feed conversion, muscle deposition, and carcass quality are supported through enhanced protein and mineral bioavailability.

• Sows and Boars (PIG-O-MIX 700): Reproductive performance, fertility, and litter quality rely on trace minerals, vitamins, and amino acids to support gamete quality, hormonal balance, and energy reserves.

2. The Role of Functional Ingredients

PIG-O-MIX includes enzymes (phytase, xylanase, β-glucanases) that improve the digestibility of phosphorus, carbohydrates, and fiber, reducing anti-nutritional effects of feed components and enhancing feed efficiency.

Probiotics (Faecium NCIB 10415) stabilize the intestinal microbiome, improving nutrient absorption, preventing gastrointestinal disorders, and supporting immune function.

3. Impact on Growth and Productivity

By providing a balanced supply of vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids, PIG-O-MIX enhances:

• Weight gain and muscle deposition

• Feed conversion efficiency (FCR)

• Reproductive efficiency, litter size, and offspring vitality

• Immune resilience and general health

4. Reducing Nutritional Deficiencies and Behavioral Issues

Nutritional gaps in pig diets often lead to growth retardation, poor reproductive performance, and abnormal behaviors such as tail biting or soil/paper eating. PIG-O-MIX addresses these deficiencies, ensuring consistent nutrient intake and promoting natural, healthy behaviors.

Conclusion

Stage-specific premixes like PIG-O-MIX are not just supplements; they are essential tools for precision pig nutrition. By combining vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and probiotics in a scientifically balanced formulation, PIG-O-MIX supports optimal growth, reproduction, feed efficiency, and health, enabling farmers to maximize productivity and profitability sustainably.
