EP199: FERMENTED PROTEIN THAT HELPS SOWS PRODUCE MORE MILK

WHAT IS EP199?

EP199 is a fermented protein for sow feed based on rapeseed meal and seaweed. The fermentation process improves nutrient absorption in sows, increasing milk yield, colostrum antibody levels, and piglet robustness.

WHY CHOOSE EP199 IF YOU WANT MORE MILK?

EP199 is developed for high-performing sows. When sows utilise feed more efficiently, more nutrients are converted directly into productivity and milk. The result is higher growth rates and improved survival.

A healthy gut equals more milk

EP199 supports gut health by increasing microbial diversity in the intestinal microbiota and strengthening the intestinal lining. This improves digestion and supports increased milk production during lactation.

Documented results show up to:

38% higher mineral levels in sows
31% higher mineral levels in piglets
40% more antibodies in colostrum

These results mean piglets are more robust from the very first day of life. At the same time, disease-causing bacteria in manure are reduced, lowering infection pressure in the farrowing unit.

Stronger economics documented at scale

Data from 31,880 sows across 35 sow herds show that the use of EP199 improves performance by:

DKK 320 in revenue per sow per year
DKK 163 in profit per sow per year

The gains are achieved through higher piglet growth, more weaned piglets, and fewer losses among both piglets and sows.

GET MAXIMUM VALUE FROM YOUR PROTEIN

Protein sources are not all the same. If you are not already using fermented raw materials, EP199 can improve both health and productivity in your sow herd.

EP199 combines rapeseed meal protein with beneficial compounds from seaweed and 5% lactic acid, delivering functional fermented protein to sows.

Developed for tomorrow’s requirements in modern sow production

GMP+ & FSA certified: EP199 is a Danish-produced fermented protein manufactured under the GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance standard and supplied in bulk or big bags.

EP199 has a documented carbon footprint of 0.757 kg CO₂e per kg, indicating a lower level per kg of product compared with soybean meal (source: GFLI database). Improved feed efficiency, reduced nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) excretion, and a resource-efficient fermentation process with minimal waste make EP199 a strong choice both now and in the future.

GET STARTED AND WEAN HEALTHIER PIGLETS

When sows produce more milk, piglets grow better – and this is clearly reflected on the bottom line. With EP199, you gain a well-documented tool to increase feed efficiency and milk yield in your sow herd.
