This groundbreaking study underscores the significant impact of Tonisity Px on managing PEDV and improving swine health. As a patented isotonic protein drink, Tonisity Px directly nourishes the intestinal cells of livestock, such as piglets, enhancing nutrient absorption. Administered during the first week of life and around weaning, it is voluntarily consumed by even newborn piglets. The result is higher weight gain, lower mortality, and a reduced need for medications, all

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?

Dublin, Ireland (September 7, 2023) - Tonisity International Limited (“ Tonisity ”), an animal health and nutrition company based in Ireland, is pleased to announce additional positive effects of its flagship product, Tonisity Px Ò , an innovative isotonic protein solution for improving gut health and performance of piglets. In the farrowing room, the first week of the piglet’s life is critical, with 75% of pre-weaning mortality occurring during that period. Fast growth, eff

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. Tonisity’s Unique Solution to Reduce PWM Tonisity Px is the first isotonic protein drink, designed to be administered to

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

Neonatal piglet diarrhea is a very common and relevant problem in modern pig production. It is associated with increased pre-weaning mortality, poor growth rates and variation in weight at weaning. The newborn pig has an immature mucosal immune system at birth allowing pathogens to colonise the gastrointestinal tract immediately after birth. Most common infectious causes of neonatal diarrhea: Rotaviruses cause diarrhea in nursing and post-weaned pigs, affecting primarily the

In total, Tonisity R&D has completed seven Tonisity Px studies in China and all the results were combined in this meta-analysis, to evaluate the effects of administering Tonisity Px on piglet weaning weight, pre-weaning mortality and the proportion of full-value pigs at weaning. We would like to thank Candice Kang (Tonisity Swine Business Manager for China), and consultants Dr. Qingyan Qiao and Dr. E Wayne Johnson of Enable Ag Tech in Beijing for supervising all the studies.

Summary: When compared to a well-known electrolyte, Tonisity PxW demonstrated noticeable performance improvements in all the parameters investigated in the study: +22% better water intake on day one post weaning and 9% better water intake over five days post-weaning +300g extra weight at the end of nursery 65% fewer fall-behinds 17% reduction in nursery mortality 18 extra live or healthy pigs per 1,000 pigs weaned Tonisity recently completed a trial on a high-performing gilt
