The use of feed additives to help pigs grow efficiently has significant economic and environmental benefits.

The faster a pig grows, the better your investments in facilities, genetics, labor, and expertise are used to maximize throughput and propel pigs through the production cycle. This quickens your returns on investment and allows full expression of the herd's genetic potential that you've so carefully cultivated.

Furthermore, by optimizing feed efficiency, less feed is needed to raise a hog, and less manure is produced. This reduces the quantity of feedstuffs devoted to livestock production, and reduces the impact of pork production on air and water quality. These facts distinguish performance-enhancing feed additives as valuable tools for protecting the environment by conserving resources and minimizing waste.

When performance optimization is your primary concern, Albac is an excellent choice for a granular feed additive that will increase the rate of weight gain by pigs while improving feed efficiency. Similar to BMD®, Albac offers a different form of bacitracin that promotes a healthy gut so nutrients contained in the feed are readily absorbed. Albac allows beneficial bacteria to continue to thrive, thus maintaining normal gut flora. And Albac is not absorbed from the intestinal tract, so no withdrawal period is needed.

Albac effectively, safely, and economically improves performance with no cross resistance to other antimicrobials, alleviating concerns about transferable drug resistance.
