All over the world, pork producers are being challenged to meet the growing consumer demand for healthy, wholesome, and delicious protein sources. 

Swine producers are heeding this call with an amazing display of commitment, resourcefulness, innovation, and efficiency. Swine producers are also delivering a higher quality product that’s right for today’s lifestyles:

• Pork is an excellent source of protein, iron, B-vitamins, and zinc.
• Many pork cuts are equivalent in calories and fat content to lean poultry cuts.
• The USDA, American Dietetic Association, and American Heart Association consistently recommend meat as an important source of complete protein and essential vitamins and minerals.

At Alpharma, we’re proud to be a part of the swine industry — working with you to optimize your productivity with a wide range of products that ensure the optimum health and welfare of your herd.
