Nutrient Dense Liquid Brochure

Nutrient Dense Liquids - providing more nutrients to your pigs through water More Nutrients Through Water

™

A combination of functional proteins, energy, and electrolytes. Use during the first 5-7 days post-weaning.

Liquitein can help: • Delivers nutritional support when dry matter intake is low, inconsistent, or non-existent • Delivers functional proteins conveniently through medicator • Provides energy and electrolytes

Using Blue2® in the drinking water functions as a very effective attractant to young pigs.

Additionally, it provides critical energy, optimum rehydration therapy, and appropriate acidification. Ideal product for weaned pigs - use for the first 3 days.

Blue2 can help: • Provides an instant energy boost • Delivers nutritional support during periods of nutrient disruption • Provides key electrolytes and acidification

Provide more nutrients to the pig through water.

Weaned pigs consume first feed within 24 hours post-weaning

Weaning is a very stressful event that inflicts pigs with significant changes in behavior, physiology, and health status. During weaning feed intake drops so low that for several days the minimum nutrient requirements for the pig are barely, if at all, being met. Water intake, while dipping slightly from normal, far exceeds dry feed intake during weaning. So how do we go about meeting the minimum nutrient intake requirements that can help enhance gut integrity, when dry feed intake has not yet increased? Optimize the nutrients in the water.

Pigs may not eat but they continue to drink.

Days Post Weaning

Our product developers created a stock solution loaded with the very specific nutrients the pig needs. Nutrient dense liquids are between 65% and 70% nutrients and contain 3 times greater nutrient density than traditional stock solutions - yet can be conveniently delivered through the medicator. This is just what the doctor ordered for a pig that is not eating dry feed yet.

Data has shown that no two pigs eat with the same pattern.

In fact, just the opposite is true. A pendulum of consumption that swings between gorging and starving compromises villi in the gut which can take days, and even weeks, to restore back to health depending on the level of trauma. Sometimes there is no recovery from the stress event.

Days post-weaning (Geary & Brooks, 1998)

The only way to keep the gut villi healthy is to provide a consistent level of nutrients to the GI tract.

By hyper-boosting the water with nutrients during the period when dry feed intake is low, inconsistent, or nonexistent, nutrient

dense liquids can provide a more stable level of nutrients to the intestinal villi. As a result, the chance of

fall behinds goes down, while the chance of improved health, improved immune status, Villus scan of jejunum intestinal morphology (pigs weaned on d 21) and daily gain goes up.
