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

Tonisity Px Reduces Pre-Weaning Mortality and Strengthens Early Piglet Performance Pre-weaning mortality (PWM) remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges in modern pig production. Even high-performing farms often lose 10–15% of piglets before weaning, with the majority of deaths occurring in the first week of life, a period marked by intense metabolic stress, immature immunity and fragile intestinal development. This is precisely where Tonisity Px delivers mea

Tonisity Px Delivered +250 g and +15% ADG Improving piglet health and performance is a constant priority for producers worldwide. Now, a groundbreaking, peer-reviewed paper recently published in the journal Veterinary Sciences , offers a new perspective on how to achieve this effectively. The study, titled "Isotonic Protein Solution Supplementation Enhances Growth Performance, Intestinal Immunity, and Beneficial Microbiota in Suckling Piglets ", is the result of a collaborat

Raising healthy piglets is never an easy task, especially when faced with the persistent challenges of infectious diseases like Rotavirus. This virus, a common culprit behind diarrhoea in young pigs, can seriously impact growth, health, and overall farm productivity. However, recent findings bring a ray of hope for pig producers dealing with such issues. The Study at a Glance A study (24-031) conducted on a commercial pig farm in France, housing 650 Hypor sows and following a

In the ever-evolving world of pig farming, improving piglet survival rates is a key concern for producers aiming to enhance productivity and profitability. A on-farm study conducted in China sheds light on the significant benefits of Tonisity Px, an isotonic protein drink designed specifically for piglets. The Study: A Closer Look The study (24-041-P-P) was carried out on a commercial pig farm in China with a herd of 3,500 sows of Landrace, Large White and Duroc genetics. T

Boost Productivity on Your Pig Farm This Summer Heat stress is one of the most underestimated challenges in modern pig farming and it's getting worse. In many European regions, summer temperatures can soar to 35 - 40°C. This has detrimental effects on piglets, especially during transport at weaning. Newly weaned piglets are transported over 1,000s of kilometres and while measures are in place to ensure welfare standards, piglets are under a lot of stress. Especially in summe

Maximise Profits on Your Pig Farm with Minimal Effort | Tonisity Px If you’re looking for solutions to improve the efficiency of your pig farm and increase profitability , you may be facing some common challenges, such as high piglet mortality rates, difficulties in achieving weight gain, or struggling with unhealthy pigs and challenges like diarrhea. Another significant factor impacting your ability to plan and resolve these issues may be the time and labour often requi

The findings underscore the advantages of Tonisity Px in optimising piglet development from birth to finishing. A recent study conducted in Brazil has demonstrated the significant benefits of using Tonisity Px in pig production. The research, conducted on a 2,600-sow farm, evaluated the impact of Tonisity Px on pig growth , mortality rates and overall health compared to a control group and a competitor product (Competitor A). Exceptional Trial Complexity and Quality of An

Introduction Rotavirus is a common and persistent challenge in pig production, often leading to diarrhoea, dehydration and reduced feed intake in piglets. These effects can result in higher mortality rates, weaker piglets and lower weaning weights, placing additional strain on farm resources. A recent trial on a Spanish farm demonstrated how Tonisity Px , by supporting intestinal health, helped reduce the number of fall-behind piglets at weaning. While not a therapeutic solu

A recent study on a 750-sow farm in Brazil explored the impacts of Tonisity Px on piglet growth and mortality, comparing its performance against an acidifier protocol. The aim was to determine whether administering Tonisity Px could enhance weaning and end-nursery weights while reducing mortality. Piglets (1246 pigs from 86 litters across 4 batches) received Tonisity Px from days two to eight of life, and for three days before and after weaning (as liquid poured on feed). T

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
