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.

Our veterinarians and nutritionists have written many PorkFacts/Technical Bulletins to report results of trial data and to share their recommendations for disease-management strategies.
