Increasing a sow’s litter size has long been a goal of producers but has had a negative impact on piglet viability. Adequate colostrum intake immediately after birth is therefore crucial—it not only provides much needed energy, but also provides the building blocks to support the development of passive immune defense.
The main causes of early piglet mortality are lack of immunity and energy reserves. As such, Piglet Protector® is a dietary supplement specially formulated with vital components to provide the support needed for newborn piglets to thrive.
Piglet Protector® contains B.I.O.Ig—a high-quality bovine colostrum that benefits the immune system and health of newborn piglets. Bovine colostrum supplementation has been shown to improve intestinal health, structure, and function, growth performance, modulate the immune system, and balance the gut microbiota.
Piglet Protector® is also formulated with a combination of carefully selected probiotic strains. This powerful blend of spore-forming and lactic acid-producing probiotics ensure rapid colonization of the gut, helping to prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria. These probiotics help to stabilize the gut microbiota, promote gut eubiosis, improve gut health, and improve nutrient digestibility.
Piglet Protector® is also formulated with B.I.O. Key® organic trace minerals. These trace minerals are more stable at the low pH values in the digestive tract. This reduces the release of free metal ions and antagonistic effects, resulting in an overall increased bioavailability.
Newborn piglets have very low energy reserves. The medium-chain triglycerides in Piglet Protector® provide an easily digested and highly available source of energy, essential for young piglet growth. A selection of vitamins is included to support immune function and optimal metabolic processes.
Piglet Protector® is specifically designed for small, weak piglets to support the development of a balanced microbiota and help reduce piglet mortality. Ensure your piglets get a strong start in life with Piglet Protector®!
