How a Dutch pig producer increased earnings by 114 EUR per sow
Read about how Wilfred Bankers increased earning by 114 EUR per sow per year with EP199 for his sows and EP200 for his piglets.
More weaned pigs with help from EP199
In July 2019, Michael Rasmussen tried EP199 for his gestated sows and young females to improve appetite and consequently milk yield and the number of weaned sows. The last six months, the number of weaned piglets have improved considerably due to management and use of EP199.
Three pigs more with new protein for the sow herd
In October 2019, Dortheasminde chose to feed EP199 for the sows to improve their productivity. At only 23,5 EUR a sow, he managed to wean three piglets more, increase weaning per litter by 0.7 piglets and add an extra 700 grams of weight at weaning.
1.5 PIGLETS MORE PER YEAR PER SOW
Skinny sows and a lack of milk yield challenged the multiplier NyborgAvl. Nikolaj Larsen has tried several types of complementary feeds but experienced that the effect didn’t last for long. He had little hope of a lasting impact when he started using EP199.
BETTER MILK PRODUCTION AND STRONGER PIGLETS
Boosting milk production and increasing the number of weaned piglets is a growing concern as litter size keeps increasing. More piglets are sharing the same colostrum demanding more milk yielding from the sow.
Don’t settle for poor results when you stop using zinc
Thomas Jessen excluded medicinal zinc four years ago to challenge himself and his business. Thomas hasn’t had trouble with the loss of product results – he now has heavier and more robust piglets on a below-average use of antibiotics.
