Helping you meet
the challenges of swine production
Swine production is an essential pillar in the global availability of animal protein and plays a crucial role in global food security. There are a number of challenges associated with swine production, spanning economic, environmental and social factors. Among these are the need to ensure sustainable livestock farming practices that comply with standards of animal well-being, the conservation of natural resources, and the fight against disease and antibiotic resistance. Against a backdrop of population growth and increasing environmental pressures, we work alongside the swine production industry in overcoming the day-to-day challenges of livestock farming.

To cope with rising production costs, growth performance remains the top priority for pig farmers. So optimising feed from post-weaning stage is an essential prerequisite for meeting the key challenge of achieving profitable swine production.
Weaning and the transition to a new diet can lead to digestive disorders in young piglets. Separation from the mother, new feed, new environment - the changes are massive and can have repercussions on piglet growth. To prepare for and counter these problems, our exclusive blend of plant extracts and spices supports digestive comfort in young piglets for optimised growth performance.
Pigs are gregarious species, living in stable social groups. In livestock farming, regrouping and moving animals to new buildings can disrupt pig hierarchy. These events are sources of stress and lead to fighting and injury. The routine use of our olfactory solution, with its unique mode of action within the brain, will provide you with a suitable solution to managing stressful situations.
Despite growing awareness of animal well-being in livestock farming, some animals that are more sensitive to stress exhibit aggressive behaviour such as tail biting. Our olfactory solution, with its unique mode of action within the brain, will help you manage these situations more effectively.
At weaning, piglets must get used to their new environment and diet quickly. To support them in this crucial learning phase, our olfactory solution helps stimulate animals' interest in their feed and boost their appetite.
Pigs are sensitive to smell and taste. A change in raw materials or a dietary transition can have a negative impact on feed consumption. An olfactory signature that is reassuring and appreciated by the animal is essential for optimal feed intake.
Pig farming can be a source of nuisance odours for neighbours and ammonia emissions that can affect air quality inside buildings. Managing the olfactory environment and air quality is important for well-being and the environment.
Key Challenges in Sows :
Nurse sows are vulnerable to heat stress. Global warming and temperatures in maternity wards can have a major impact on piglets. Supporting nurse sows is essential to guaranteeing their longevity and productivity.
Gilts or pregnant sows can exhibit aggressive behaviour when they are grouped together. Reducing the impact of stress is essential for animal well-being and good feed intake.
Pigs are sensitive to smell and taste. A change in raw materials or a dietary transition can have a negative impact on feed consumption. An olfactory signature that is reassuring and appreciated by the animal is essential for optimal feed intake.
Hyperprolific sows, and especially nurse sows, are vulnerable to oxidative stress. To support them, it is important to control their antioxidant balance by providing them with a natural solution rich in polyphenols.
