Explore why piglet weaning weight is only one measure of early-life nutrition, and how intestinal condition and post-weaning growth can provide a more complete picture of pig performance.

Discover how a new peer-reviewed study proves that Tonisity Px improves piglet growth, gut health, and immunity, leading to heavier pigs and more profit for your farm.

Tonisity Px increased piglet weaning weight by 13% (+740g), with the advantage continuing through the nursery, driven mainly by medium and heavy piglets.

Discover how a structured Tonisity Px programme supported 24% higher creep feed intake and 1.42 kg more weight three weeks after weaning.

A commercial farm study in China showed piglets were +330 g heavier at weaning and pre-weaning mortality was reduced by 26% with early-life nutritional support.

Understanding the relationship between PRRS, gut function and piglet resilience in challenged production systems

Tonisity Px at Weaning | Improve Piglet Feed Intake, Gut Health & Growth Tonisity Px is a highly palatable, isotonic protein solution supplying essential nutrients to the piglet gut from day 2 of life.It is formulated to nourish enterocytes directly the intestinal cells responsible for nutrient absorption. Unlike simple electrolytes, Tonisity Px does more than hydrate.It is a patented micro-enteral nutrition technology that prepares the gut to function more efficiently durin

A recent study conducted on a 450-sow farm in France investigated the role of Tonisity Px. The trial evaluated its effectiveness in reducing pig mortality, boosting growth and lowering fall-behinds. Administered from days two to eight of life and for three days before and after weaning, Tonisity Px was shown to significantly impact key performance indicators. The findings confirm that Tonisity Px reduces pig mortality, fall-behinds and improves growth demonstrating notable re

Water is a unique nutrient. Even though it is essential to maintaining life, it is difficult to determine water intake requirements since it can’t be studied like other nutrients. Due to its chemical makeup and overwhelming presence in the body, water is the key to successful bodily function. To best optimise water’s benefits, it must be ensured that the supplied water source is of adequate quality for pigs to have a good foundation for growth. What determines water quality?

Pre-weaning mortality (PWM) is a major concern for both animal welfare and productivity in the global pig farming industry. Sows are becoming more prolific but despite various improvements in disease management, facility design, and overall piglet care, the number of piglet deaths before weaning is still increasing. That is, on farms not using Tonisity Px. Evidence update — August 2026 The results presented in this article reflect the evidence available at the time of its ori

The problem Both an issue of welfare and production efficiency, heat stress represents a global challenge in pig production. Correlated with the climate change predictions, we can only assume that the effects of heat stress will increase in severity in the coming years. Until recently, the only way to mitigate heat stress was by modifying the environmental factors on farm, but additional strategies, like nutritional cutting-edge techniques, are necessary to respond to the los

A common misunderstanding in the market is that only small or sick piglets need support. Of course, they need it. But because of this misconception, many producers use Tonisity Px only on small or weak piglets, also known as runts. Why Tonisity Px should be given to small piglets Small piglets need extra care. Usually, when we give them Tonisity Px,the results are spectacular. The Tonisity Px solution is easy to use, piglets love to drink it, so it is a good tool to encourag
