The University of Copenhagen and the protein producer European Protein have published a scientific article concluding that a combination of fermented rapeseed and seaweed in the piglet feed can improve the gastrointestinal health of piglets relative to unsupplemented feed.
What happens when you use high doses of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) in the weaning feed for piglets? Many farmers would answer “Less diarrhoea”, which is correct, but few know that it damages the immune system and causes inflammation. Through a microscope, you will see why.
In a new large-scale trial, scientists from Aarhus and Copenhagen University conclude that fermented rapeseed is just as good and on some parameters event better than medicinal zinc to improve gut health
European Protein recently started testing several of their new customers´ sows and piglets. The purpose is to document and compare the health impact of the farmers current feed with the company’s complementary protein EP199. Through DNA-test the farmer will be able to map his herds bacteria problems accurately. At the same time, the farmer will be able to evaluate his current feeds influence on gut health.
