| Provimi improves piglet survivability rates
In the current swine production industry piglet mortality is still at a high level. Especially in large litters there are more weak piglets with low birth weight and low energy reserves. This leads to malnutrition of those piglets, which lower survivability rates.
To tackle this problem Provimi has developed the Rescue System: Rescue Milk fed in the Rescue Deck. This Rescue Milk can be fed to 3-4 days old piglets. It gives consistent superior results due to highly digestible ingredients and a unique acidification to ensure product stability.
The Rescue Deck is a box in which a microclimate is created for the smallest piglets. Via a patented drinker system the Rescue Milk is fed ad libitum to the piglets. At this moment more than 3600 Decks are installed through North America and the EU.
Research has proved that this Rescue Milk in combination with high quality creep feed can rear piglets up to weaning. Mortality rates go down 2-4.5% and uniformity of the litters at weaning increases.
