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 has developed comprehensive piglet care protocols aimed at improving piglet health and performance during critical stages of growth. These protocols offer tailored solutions for managing piglets through the pre-weaning, weaning and post-weaning phases. Backed by scientific research, they are specifically formulated to boost growth, reduce mortality and improve overall piglet health. Recommendations for Producers Producers are encouraged to carefully follow Tonisity's

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

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

In the ever-evolving world of agriculture, innovations in animal care are critical for improving productivity and profitability. A recent study, conducted on a commercial pig farm in Belgium, examines: Tonisity PxM, a highly-palatable isotonic milk replacer additive, helps piglets overcome key productivity hurdles. This article delves into the findings of this study, which assessed the effects of Tonisity PxM on reducing fall-behinds at weaning and lowering pre-weaning mort

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

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?

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

Dublin, Ireland (January 31st, 2023) – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (" Elanco ") (NYSE: ELAN), a global leader in animal health, and Tonisity International Limited (" Tonisity "), an animal health and nutrition company based in Ireland, are pleased to announce that they have received the permission from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (" MAFF ") to import and sell Tonisity Px in the Japanese market. Having now obtained permission of MAFF to i

In the dynamic landscape of agriculture, finding innovative solutions that not only improve productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability is paramount. One such ground-breaking product making waves in the pig farming industry is Tonisity Px, the first isotonic drink for piglets, which supplies rapid energy for the enterocytes (the intestinal cells responsible for absorption of nutrients) and promotes a healthy microbiome. This disruptive solution is not jus
