Vitadys
Mycozym
Vitadys is a carefully-designed mixture of natural components of which trials have shown that it is active against (among others) Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, thus increasing the health and performance of the animal.
Mycozym contains activated and purified hydrated
sodium calcium magnesium aluminosilicates (HSCAS) and therefore adsorbs and inactivates mycotoxins.
Vitadys benefits
Mycozym benefits Eliminates the negative effects of mycotoxins on productivity, reproduction and animal health. Has a high adsorption capacity (cfr. purification process). Binds a wide range of mycotoxins. Is very stable over a broad range of temperatures and pH-values. Has a low affinity for the vital elements in the feed (vitamins and minerals). Limits economical losses resulting from contaminated feed.
On several Brachyspira - positive farms addition of Vitadys resulted in: A lower frequency of dysentery outbreaks. Fewer or no medical treatments. Shorter treatments. A lower mortality. Higher health status and better performance of the animals !

Prestarter feed
Babito®
Weanipops
Babito® is an energy rich creepfeed in meal form for newborn piglets, containing milk products, partially hydrolysed raw materials, specifically selected fats mixed with highly digestible nutrients, vitamins and all necessary trace elements.
Weanipops is a soluble prestarter feed in meal form for orphaned piglets with: A high content of tasty dairy products. A high content of soluble and easily-digestible protein sources. A high content of readily available and essential fatty acids. A unique combination of aromas, sweeteners and flavourings. Medium chain fatty acids and specific organic acids which allow early weaning. Immunoglobulins as passive support of the still developing active immune system.
Babito® benefits Using Babito® from the early beginning: Stimulates feed intake of newborn piglets: Typical structure. Especially developed flavours. Supplies piglets with extra immunoglobulines for increased vitality. Gives more uniform piglets. Results in substantially higher weaning weights. Prevents a growth delay at weaning. Results in a lower mortality (Vitamex data).
Weanipops benefits Weanipops for orphaned piglets results in:
High feed intakes Excellent technical results (growth, FCR) Very low mortality rate Long lasting homogenous mixtures

Vitamex Weaning Diets How?
A unique range of weaning diets with one core concept: an optimal feed intake and an optimal intestinal health as a fundamental base for excellent performance.
Maximal feed intake by: A high content of tasty and well digestible raw materials. A unique combination of aromas, sweeteners and flavourings. The use of the best quality dairy products. A high tryptophan content. An optimal combination of acids, which evoke the “aigre-doux’ feeling.
Weaning age, farm management and genetics will determine which weaning diet is most appropriate.
Vitamex Weaning Diets benefits Numerous field trials with Vitamex weaning diets resulted in:
Optimal health by:
Higher feed intakes. Better growth and feed conversion. Less diarrhoea and lower mortality. More vital piglets. Higher uniformity.
The presence of the Vitamex acids concept. The use of well digestible high value protein sources. The presence of immunoglobulins to support the relatively undeveloped active immunity. An ideal recipe which takes into account the high and specific nutrient requirements of modern genetic races.

Vitaprotein
Vitazym
Fishmeal replacer based on highly digestible vegetable protein sources, with added omega-3 fatty acids for extra growth and production potential.
Vitazym is a range of enzyme blends. The mixtures of enzymes are especially formulated according to the composition of the diet.
Vitaprotein benefits
Vitazym benefits
The use of ingredients with little risk of microbial contamination. Good absorption guaranteed by minimizing antinutritional factors (e.g. solanine). A very good digestibility of the proteins with an ideal amino acid pattern. An increased availability of minerals (Ca, P, K, Mg) which stimulates the production of endogenous enzymes. An enrichment with omega-3 fatty acids which heightens the resistance of animals during stressful periods.
Better digestion of the nutrients. Lower viscosity of the intestinal content. More available energy for the animals. Lower feed conversion, better feed intake and an improved daily growth. More uniformity among the animals. More efficient utilization of barley, wheat and high-fibre products in animal feed. Healthier animals with better production results.
