Tonisity Px Reduced Fall-Behinds During a Rotavirus Outbreak.
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

Tonisity Px Compared to Acidifier
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

Importance of Early Feeding for Piglets Pre- and Post-Weaning
Weaning is a highly stressful period for piglets, marked by significant dietary changes and separation from the sow. A thesis from Choudhury (2021) emphasises the fact that after weaning, piglets must abruptly adjust from their mother’s milk to a less digestible, plant-based solid diet rich in complex proteins and carbohydrates. This sudden dietary change often results in a significant drop in feed intake immediately after weaning, with some piglets not consuming feed for up

Tonisity Px Proven Effective Against Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV)
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

The Importance of Water Quality
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?

Omtimising Piglet Health through Adequate Colostrum Intake
Colostrum contains essential maternal antibodies (immunoglobulins) that can eliminate bacteria and viruses, providing passive immunity to the piglets. This is crucial because piglets are born without immune protection, and it takes time for them to develop their own active immunity. Colostrum also supplies energy and highly digestible nutrients essential for the piglets, enabling them to start suckling and grow faster. Colostrum is produced by the sow just after the birth of
