EcoCare® Feed Improves Clean Up in Swine Barns
 |
A commercial study has shown that the microbial load can be reduced by 75% in barns where pigs are fed an EcoCare® feed component. Read more on how EcoCare® feed improves the effectiveness of a standard cleaning and disinfection program. |
Effects of Feeding EcoCare® Feed on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Mass Balance during the Entire Finishing Period
|
|
This N and P mass balance study provides a comprehensive description of the origin and fate of N and P in association with a swine finishing operation. The study was conducted at Oklahoma State University, and the results were presented at the 2009 American Society of Animal Science Midwest Meeting (Walraven et al., 2009). |
Feeding for the Pig and the Environment
Environmental issues are a growing concern. Many of them can be categorized under the following headings; air quality, manure storage and handling, manure nutrient concentration and soil nutrient levels. Read more about how EcoCare® Feed can address the entire environment question, not just parts it, through an effective and proactive feeding program for grower-finisher pigs.

NEWtraStart™ Feed Enhances Palatability and Gut Wellness
 |
A field trial was conducted in 2007 in Iowa to evaluate NEWtraStart™ Feed on grow-finish pig performance. Despite an unanticipated substantial health challenge, supplementation of 5 lb per ton of NEWtraStart™ Feed resulted in pigs gaining 4.1% faster, weighing 11 pounds more, and achieving 16.2% better feed conversion when compared to pigs receiving a control diet. |
