Swine Nutrition
& Gut Health Solutions
Swine production is under pressure.
Margins are compressing while sanitary, regulatory and raw-material risks intensify.
01
Feed Cost Volatility
Cereal and protein prices remain volatile. Feed represents 65–75% of total production cost — every formulation choice matters.
02
Antibiotic Reduction
Regulatory pressure and consumer demand are driving AGP-free production, exposing gut health weak points at weaning.
03
Heat & Oxidative Stress
Climate variability impairs feed intake, fertility, and finishing performance — especially in sows and grow-finish.
04
Mycotoxin Pressure
Multi-toxin contamination is the rule, not the exception — silently eroding reproduction and growth performance.
FEED IN COST
~70%
of total pig production cost
WEANING DIPS
7–14d
of compromised intake post-weaning
MYCOTOXINS
>70%
of feed samples carry ≥1 mycotoxin
HEAT STRESS
−20%
feed intake during peak summer
OSMOLYTE · METHYL DONOR · ENERGY SPARING
Betaine
Trimethylglycine (TMG) — a natural amino-acid derivative that protects cells from osmotic and heat stress, donates methyl groups, and helps redirect nutrients toward lean tissue rather than fat deposition.
KEY MECHANISMS
1. Osmoprotection — stabilizes cells under heat & dehydration stress.
2. Methyl donation — spares methionine and choline in the diet.
3. Lipotropic effect — improves carcass lean yield, reduces backfat.
4. Gut osmolarity — supports water balance during enteric challenges.
DOCUMENTED RESPONSES IN SWINE

Enzymes & Amino Acids
Unlock raw-material value and formulate closer to the pig's true requirement.
EXOGENOUS ENZYMES
More nutrients from every ingredient.
Phytase
Phytate-P
+P, Ca; less excretion
Xylanase
Arabinoxylans
↓ viscosity, ↑ energy
β-Glucanase
β-glucans
Barley/oat digestibility
Protease
Protein / ANFs
↑ AA availability
α-Galactosidase
Raffinose / stachyose
Less hindgut fermentation
CRYSTALLINE AMINO ACIDS
Precision protein, lower nitrogen.
The gut: where performance is won or lost.
A healthy gastrointestinal tract is the foundation of feed efficiency, immunity and resilience — built on three interdependent pillars.
01
Balanced Microbiota
A diverse, stable bacterial community that outcompetes pathogens and ferments fiber into beneficial short-chain fatty acids.
02
Intact Mucosal Barrier
Tall villi, functional tight junctions and a healthy mucus layer — the physical shield that prevents leaky gut and translocation.
03
Modulated Immunity
Calibrated GALT response: ready to fight true pathogens, restrained against feed antigens and commensals.
Alternatives supporting gut health
Functional ingredients used alongside acidifiers and phytogenics to build a complete antibiotic-free gut-health program.
