There is no doubt that convenient feed-grade antimicrobials are invaluable for enhancing herd health and productivity. But one aspect of these products often overlooked is their beneficial impact on animal welfare.

By optimizing the health of pigs at all stages of production, animals experience far less illness and, therefore, discomfort. Healthy pigs are lively, energetic, and interactive when free from the stresses caused by sickness.

In addition, the use of feed additive antimicrobials helps pigs use their feed more efficiently. This means less feed is needed and less manure is produced, thus reducing the environmental impact of swine production.

In short, feed additive antimicrobials represent excellent tools to help enhance animal welfare and protect the environment.
