MOST STRESSFUL TIME IN A PIG’S LIFE ​

Research shows that if pigs go over 36 hours without eating or drinking in the nursery, their survival rates plummet.1 Weaning stress reduces appetite, weakens immunity and heightens the risk of illness and mortality.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

“Our nursery was facing high mortality rates of about 20% from slow starting pigs that wouldn’t eat. To help, we tried Essential-Lyte. Almost immediately, feed intake went up drastically and the enteric issues stopped. Our death rate came down to just 2%, and now every group entering the nursery is given Essential-Lyte to get weaner pigs started and set them up for success.”

Now we administer this product to every group entering the nursery, so our pigs get on feed fast and get a boost of immunity from day one.”
