DESIGNED FOR A LIFETIME
To meet the growing requirements of modern pig production, present day Pig Producers and their sows face many opportunities as well as challenges.
Genetic potential of new sow genotypes has increased significantly and a new approach to sow nutrition is required to support: ++ Maximising the genetic potential ++ Larger, more uniform piglets ++ Easier litter management ++ Maximise the reproductive life of the sow
In this challenging environment, nutritional solutions need to be: ++ High quality ++ Easy to apply ++ Supported by the best knowledge, advice and services

NOVA means innovation, based on extensive research and development undertaken by ForFarmers’ own Nutritional Innovation Centre (NIC) and trialled on a large number of commercial farms throughout North West Europe. The NOVA range has been developed to ensure total performance throughout the sow’s reproductive lifetime from gilt rearing and first service through to successful farrowing and weaning. With this in mind, NOVA has been designed to deliver on three key pillars:
Outstanding performance
NOVA is uniquely designed to support the next generation of piglets to ensure they get the best start in life.
++ Maximum feed intake
++ Decreased preweaning
Lactational excellence
NOVA provides the optimal balance of key nutrients, maximising milk yield and quality resulting in heavier more uniform piglets at weaning, and reducing the need for fostering of larger litters.
Sow longevity
The comprehensive range of NOVA diets nutritionally support the sow through all the stages of her life; from gilt rearing through to lactation.
++ Increased post weaning
growth rate
mortality ++ Increased litter size
and uniformity ++ Increased number
of viable piglets
++ Optimum sow condition ++ Increased lifetime
productivity
The NOVA sow feed range NOVAGilt A unique gilt rearer diet from 70kg liveweight to point of service.
UltraGest
MaxiGest
A gestation diet specifically designed for feeding gilts and young sows.
A superior gestation diet to support body condition, back fat and protein levels at farrowing.
NOVA PreLac A uniquely designed diet to enhance the farrowing process and ensure a smooth transition from a gestation diet to a lactation diet
MagnaLac A high density lactation diet designed to stimulate feed intake and quality milk production.
FortaLac
PrimaLac
NutraLac
Lactation diet designed to support feed intake and good milk production.
A core lactation diet with the prime aim of ensuring good feed intake.
Lactation diet designed particularly but not exclusively for outdoor production systems.

NOVA is based on six unique nutritional innovations which have been applied throughout the diet range.
Comstar An innovative mix of coarse cereals to support healthy digestion and productivity.
NEtmix
FibroFX
Amiplex
Lactopro
Vitaplex
The optimum balance of fast and slow energy sources in the different phases of the reproductive cycle.
A unique mix of fermentable and non fermentable fibre.
The optimum profile of essential amino acids to match the different phases of the reproductive cycle.
The nutritional support to improve the quality of colostrum and milk production.
A unique blend of vitamins that are specifically involved in reproductive performance.
“Since using the new NOVA diets we have seen many benefits. Our sows have maintained their back fat better through the lactation period resulting in improved sow condition. We have also had increased birthweights and more viable piglets. This has ultimately resulted in heavier weaning weights which has reduced days to slaughter; improving the profitability of my business.� Outdoor producer Lancashire

Feeding the next generation today Life begins with VIDA and evolves with NOVA. A key element of the NOVA range is not only supporting healthy and productive sows for longer, but also giving the prenatal and new born piglet the best start in life. The NOVA approach ensures we are not only feeding the sow, but supporting her piglets. This is achieved by providing the best nutritional support for the developing foetus and the highest quality colostrum and milk production to support the new born piglet in today’s larger litters. Using VIDA milk and prestarter preweaning in addition to the sow’s natural milk supply will ensure the rapidly growing piglet gets the best start in life through improved feed intake, daily liveweight gain and feed conversion; ultimately resulting in increased profitability.
