Improved Longevity in Sows
Achieving longer sow lifespans begins as early as with replacement gilts, where factors like stocking density, management, feeding, and overall health are crucial. Strategies such as advanced nutrition, improved housing systems, and effective health management practices all contribute to extending sow longevity. By focusing on these areas, pig farmers can create a more sustainable and ethical framework, balancing economic benefits and animal welfare.

Stalosan F ensures a pathogen-free environment; Kani-Stopp helps the animals cope with stressful phases in the growing phase of replacement gilts; and Summer Comfort combats heat stress. Together, these products create a healthier, more comfortable living space, leading to longer, more productive lives of your sows.
