Producing quality pork products begins with producing healthy piglets.

Research has repeatedly shown that a heavier weaned pig is healthier and performs better in the remainder of the production cycle. Therefore, proven management tools that help sows produce bigger piglets can provide significant financial returns and set the pace of productivity for the entire operation.

Alpharma offers the experience and tools that can help your breeding herd optimize productivity by weaning larger, heavier litters and then getting back into breeding condition faster.
