Better for your pigs, better for your profit margins
Taintstop® is specially developed piglet feed that minimises unpleasant odours in pork, thereby removing the need to castrate your piglets. This extensively tested feed is particularly effective and efficient, helping your piglets stay calmer, while also promoting digestion within the large intestine, which serves to greatly reduce boar taint. With Taintstop®, you can rear high-quality pork in a 100% pain-free, cruelty-free and stress-free way.
How to use Taintstop®?
Taintstop® is a patented, balanced combination of nutrients, comprising flaxseed and chicory, among other ingredients. It has a particularly positive effect on the bacterial flora of the colon as early as within two weeks. Following numerous field tests and studies, Taintstop® has been proven to be very effective.
For greater success, give Taintstop® to slaughter-ready pigs starting a fortnight before slaughter. You can use it in the following ways:
Use it as a complete pig feed
Use it as a 1.5% technology premix
Use it as a 15% concentrate
When to use Taintstop®?
Feeding uncastrated boars with Taintstop® as 100% of their ration 14 days prior to slaughter sufficiently reduces boar taint, guaranteeing improved technical and financial results.
