Optimise pig growth through optimal nutrition

Today’s pig farming has come a long way. We have made huge strides in terms of genetics. As a result, and for some years now, current sow breeds have been increasing the average number of piglets born with maximum potential for growth, feed efficiency (i.e. the right feed for the right pigs), carcass and meat quality.

The many combinations of different sow breeds with numerous varieties of finishing boars result in a wide range of finishing pigs. Sophisticated feeding schedules and the right feed composition guarantee optimum performance and maximum returns, assuring consumers of delicious, high-quality meat. Choice of pig feed is very important in the development of sows, piglets and finishing pigs.

As a pig farmer today, you are also strongly concerned with animal welfare and protecting the environment. To do this both sustainably and responsibly, it is necessary to ensure your investments and activities also yield maximum returns.

To meet all your goals, needs and expectations, Proxani offers a wide range of products, along with the very best solutions and tailored advice.

Gilt Rearing

Read on to find everything there is to know about rearing sows. Sow development and feeding schedules are very important here.

Sow

Genetically, today’s high-yielding sow breeds are capable of farrowing and raising many healthy piglets. It is important that sows are professionally supervised during this process, all while being provided with the best possible feed.

Piglets

As an owner of livestock, you strive to rear your piglets in a healthy manner. To achieve this, it is important to make sure you are giving them optimal support through providing the right piglet feed. While piglets will start attempting to eat solid feed after 3 days, at 3 to 4 weeks, once the piglets have been weaned off, they will require their own specific piglet feed. To optimise piglet growth, a piglet must consume a sufficient amount of piglet feed.

Finishing pig

The finishing pig plays a crucial role within the meat production industry, where it is bred and reared for eventual slaughter to produce the meat we consume. The successful rearing of healthy finishing pigs is dependent on several factors, of which choice of feed is one of the most important. Providing the right nutrition to finishing pigs is essential for optimising their growth, health and ultimate meat quality.
