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
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.
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.
A new large scale trial shows how to replace zinc oxide by improving general health.
