First day Colostrum It is best to leave the piglet with the mother sow for a minimum of 12 hours in order to ensure that it gets enough colostrum. Colostrum provides the piglet with the essential antibodies against livestock diseases. From 24 hours to 7-10 days after birth, the piglet can only digest milk. These products make it possible for you to supplement with milk replacer for piglets, for example if a sow has many piglets. Dry piglet AGROSAN DRY OUT 25 KG Immediately after birth, it is extremely important that you prevent the piglet from becoming too cold, as this may be fatal for the piglet, because it has almost no energy reserves to keep warm. An undercooled piglet will weaken and often incur further problems. Perfect litter for the newborn piglet. The powder dries the piglet s skin, preventing it from being undercooled. Furthermore, the scent of the powder will make the piglet feel secure. AGROSAN DRY OUT is ph neutral. It also disinfects the surroundings.. Energy supplement 1 2 VILOPIGLET PROTECT 6 X 250 ML We recommend that you feed 1 ml of VILOPIGLET PROTECT, equivalent to one push on the applicator gun, to all small piglets and to piglets which are born weak. Apply directly in the oral cavity and repeat the process 12 hours later. Provides vitality and energy. Stimulates the piglet s metabolism, which combined with the sow s milk results in faster growth. Tests have shown that the product reduces mortality by up to 50% in underweight piglets. Suckling reflexes improve. The increased vitality helps the piglet find the teats faster and thus enhances the colostrum intake. Iron paste VILOFER IRON PASTE ViloFer Iron Paste is a paste adding probiotics, iron and vitamins all at once. The paste should be applied directly into the oral cavity of the pig, at the back of the tongue. Administer the first dose immediately after colostrum intake. Basic dosage of ViloFer Iron Paste is 1.50 ml per pig per day, equivalent to one push on the applicator gun. The application can be repeated 1-3 times. In special cases of anaemia (iron deficiency) a subsequent dose may be administered after 4-5 days. Dose recommendations for ViloFer Iron Paste should be observed. Iron paste should not be used in the event of acute or subclinical intestinal infections caused by Clostridia and E.coli.

First day Iron supplements When the piglet has received the starter package of colostrum from the sow, ensuring all vital antibodies, it is important to keep the piglet safe over the next period until its own immune system functions. A way of ensuring this is to provide iron. Preferably within the first 24 hours. Iron can be administered by injection, as iron paste, as a liquid or as sprinkle iron. Injection iron VILOFERRON 20% INJ. corresponds to 1 ml containing 200 mg, which is exactly what the piglet needs to ensure a quick and secure start of life. Insert the injection needle in the groin or the neck muscles. No discoloration will occur. Will be absorbed within the first 24 hours after birth. Available in glass or plastic bottles. Liquid iron 3 3 VILOFER LIQUID frequently used in big herds that have a separate watering system for piglets. Usually, 1-2 % is added to the water. The product contains lactic acid, electrolytes and dextrose, which prevent diarrhoea. Recommended for the period between birth and the age of 3-4 weeks. Beneficial during weaning. Does not require HACCP.

First week s s are a good way of ensuring milk for all piglets, for improving weaning weight and for ensuring a good start for the piglets in the climate stable. Our milk replacers are composed from good raw materials such as skimmed milk powder, whey powder and lactose, which are easily digestible by the piglets. The piglets requirements change gradually as they become able to digest more raw materials. Therefore, easily digestible raw materials are important right from the start. The litter size of the sows have grown significantly in recent years. The substantial increase in the number of live-born piglets is obviously positive, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise them. In that connection, Elitemilk Pigi Yoghurt is the ideal solution.

A complete feeding stuff for 3-10 kg piglets, which ensures optimal conditions for the animals. The unique features of Power Pig Mini Safe and Power Pig Yoghurt are their high content of milk and thus also the lactose content, which is easily digestible milk sugar and energy. This is when the production of digestive enzymes begins. Power Pig Yoghurt + Mini Safe have been enriched with 10 % Elitemilk Pigi. At this point in time, it will ensure a normal transition to dry food. 3 3 POWER PIG YOGHURT For piglets, including during weaning (3 7 kg) contains 10% Elitemilk Pigi Yoghurt.

1 WEEK BEFORE AND AFTER WEANING The mixtures are adapted to very small piglets before and after weaning. Organic acids, easily digestible raw materials, BioPro Mikro and micro-encapsulated zinc have been added to ensure intestinal health and growth stimulation. The transition period from sow milk to dry food means a radical change for the piglets and it is important to make this transition as easy as possible for them. This can be done by adding milk, either in a trough, softened in their feed or as part of the dry food. During the weaning period, very small piglets will often have difficulties activating the feed dispenser enough to get feed. This hinders feed consumption as well as growth. Therefore, lots of feed should be provided in the piglet enclosure during the first 14 days, so the piglets will have easy access. There is only a slight risk of feed waste, as the piglets are not large enough to cause substantial feed waste. PIGI MEAL 6 (6-10 KG) Designed to give piglets a good start in the climate stable. Period: 7-12 days. Contains Biopro Smart/Base. PIGI MEAL 6 helps give piglets in the climate stable a good start.
