Among common stress factors, thermal discomfort, vaccination, weaning, housing conditions and food or nutritional deficiencies can increase nervousness and aggressive behaviour.
Mode of action:
- Reduction in aggressive behaviour (biting, head-butting, etc.) in favour of social interaction with their fellow pigs.
- Optimised performance: improved ADG (Average Daily Gain), CI (Consumption Index) and reduced mortality under the mother).
- Nutritional support in the Animal Welfare sector (intact tail, whole male, etc.).
Proven performance:
Using Robus Zen in pig feed helps optimise performance*:
-
Techniques:
-
Piglet under the mother :
-2.2% piglet mortality
3kg litter weight at weaning -
Fattening pig:
-0.14 consumption index for fattening
+3.6 kg live weight and +33g ADG
+18% positive social interactions
-42% reduction in aggressive behaviour
-
- Economic :
- 5 margin/feed cost per fattening pig
- Potential ROI of 1:5
