Meta-analysis  2022.11-TON-META-WN-WT

• N= 18,654 pigs
• 20 trials across the world
• 230 g improvement at 20.7 days weaning age

Tonisity Px significantly, homogenously and reliably improves weaning weight in pigs of all birth weights, on litters of all sizes, and parities and on farms with varying levels of performance and health.

The weights were improved homogenously in the TPX group in pigs of light, medium and heavy birth weight

Study 18-014-P-P (USA)

• N=2,193 pigs
• 3,200-sow commercial farm
• Creep feed from day 2

This favourable shift in finishing weight distribution confirms that Tonisity-treated pigs showed less lightweight pigs and more medium and heavy pigs at finishing.

Study 17-031-P-R Krakow Agriculture University (Poland)

• N=967 pigs
• 1,200-sow commercial farm
• Fattener daily weight gain also increased by 28 g (2.9%) (P=0.08)
• 7 days less to finishing

Better growth, feed efficiency and fewer finishing days amount to a saving of 16 kg feed per fattening pig. (~430 tonnes/year for a 1,000-sow unit)

Taller villi improve nutrient absorption, enhance digestion and indicate an overall healthier gut

Study 16-009-P-R (Spain)

• Commercial farm
• Histology of the small intestine investigated

Study 16-003-P-R (Spain)

• Commercial farm
• Histology of the small intestine investigated
• University of Lleida

Study 18-126-P-R (Brazil)

• University of Lavras

Taller villi post-weaning are associated with smooth weaning transition and less weaning stress on the gut

Study 18-020-P-R (USA)

• University of Minnesota
• Faecal samples examined

Study 18-126-P-R (Brazil)

• University of Lavras
• Caecal digesta examined

Lactobacilli are associated with improved intestinal barrier and immunity, improved pathogen defence and better digestion

Study 18-020-P-R (USA)

• University of Minnesota
• Ileal mucosa examined

Study 18-126-P-R (Brazil)

• University of Lavras
• Caecal digesta examined

Less E. coli results in fewer mortalities and treatments pre- and post-weaning, better gut health and better growth

Tonisity Px Results in Fewer Fall-Behinds

• 9 studies totalling 12,309 pigs
• 220-5,000-sow farm size, various management systems and health statuses

Tonisity Px results in more full-value weaner pigs

Meta-analysis – 2021.02 TON-META-PWM-O

• N=19,218 pigs from 15 different studies

Medium-heavy pigs are 89% of all pigs. This consistent PWM reduction means an extra 10 medium-heavy pigs and an extra 7.5 light pigs for every 1,000 pigs

Meta-analysis 2021.01-TON-META-PWM-BW

• N=148,170 pigs
• 70 different studies, across 22 countries
  Tonisity Px consistently reduces PWM across all litter sizes and in various genetic lines and production systems across the world
  

Tonisity Px resulted in a 20% reduction in PWM (P<0.0001), meaning 0.76 extra piglets/sow/year
