Product Benefits.

Modes of Action.

Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity.

Immune Modulation

Microbial molecules stimulate immune function resulting in better immune regulation, response, and defense. Overall, this enhances the resistance to harmful bacteria and related infections.

Pathogen Binding

The binding of Mannan-Oligosaccharides to cell surface structures of gram-negative pathogens reduces their ability of epithelial attachment and increases their elimination.

Crucial Building Blocks

Yeast constituents such as amino acids, nucleotides, and micronutrients like vitamins and minerals support animal growth and development including its metabolism and immune defencs.

Palatability

The unique molecule profile of K. fragilis includes umami-rich components like glutamic acids and nucleotides, enhancing the sensory palatability of feed.

Reinforced Intestinal Barrier

Strengthening of mucosal linings by supporting tight junction formation, immune response, epithelial regeneration, and mucous secretion. This mechanism prevents harmful substances from entering the blood system.

Stimulation of Short-chain Fatty Acid Production

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetic, propionic, and butyric acids are crucial for physiological processes, impacting gut and immune homeostasis, as well as brain, lung, liver, and bone health.

Product Description.

PigStart Life is a synbiotic support system for suckling piglets and helps support a successful and economical piglet production. With large litters come limitations. These include sow milk yield and variability in piglet birth weights. Insufficient colostrum and milk intake in suckling piglets can lead to weakened immunity and compromised intestinal health.

PigStart Life is a feed supplement designed to provide targeted supplementation of functional feed ingredients for piglet milk formula and creep feed. PigStart Life is extremely palatable and is formulated with highly digestible ingredients to supplement sow’s milk.

PigStart Life helps develop a highly functional gut, a stable immune system, and a balanced and beneficial intestinal microbiota. It contains prebiotic yeast cell walls and functional yeast extracts like amino acids and nucleotides. Together, these work to control pathogens—especially gram-negative bacteria—while providing immunomodulatory effects, enhancing palatability, and helping to support intestinal development.

In addition, PigStart Life’s digestible protein and amino acids from colostrum and egg powder, and colostrum’s immunoglobulins support local gut immunity and morphology. The Bacillus probiotic in PigStart Life functions to stabilize gut microbiota, control pathogens, improve digestibility with secreted enzymes, and stimulate immunity.

In piglets and sows, PigStart Life improves gut health parameters and performance. In piglets, this includes improved milk intake and reduced incidence of diarrhea and mortality. PigStart Life provides stable growth performance during the lactation and weaning periods of piglets.

Sows also benefit—sows whose litters are supplemented with PigStart Life have less weight loss and an improved body condition score. The ingredients in PigStart Life support the overall health of piglets. For the best start, choose PigStart Life.

Key Facts You Need to Know About Antibiotic Reduction

Datos importantes que debe conocer sobre la reducción del uso de antibióticos.

En estos últimos años, la necesidad de reducir el uso de antibióticos en la producción animal se ha convertido en una preocupación mundial. Obligados por la aparición de bacterias multirresistentes y la necesidad de un enfoque «One-Health» (Una sola salud), la mayoría de los países ya ha promulgado legislación para regular el uso de antibióticos. La rápida evolución de las necesidades del mercado y las soluciones de la industria de los piensos nos han impulsado a promover un nuevo enfoque para esta cuestión tan compleja.
