The feed intake (r)evolution

In recent years, the diet composition for piglets has changed drastically: removal of zinc-oxide, reduction of (or no) antibiotics in the feed, increased use of functional ingredients, etc. Therefore, it is time to reconsider piglet feed intake solutions.

Earlyfeed knows that – just like people – piglets dislike bitter flavors and crave both sweet and savory flavors.

A three way solution

Earlyfeed’s innovative feed intake solution consists of three pillars:

  • The appealing aroma is designed to resemble the piglet’s mother, enticing it to the feed.

  • The use of an attractive taste will increase the palatability of the feed to support continuous intake.

  • The use of natural sweeteners makes Piglet’s Flavorit a future-proof concept.

By combining maternal recognition and associative learning, piglets can achieve smoother transitions. This results in continuous feed intake, reduced stress levels, and improved overall welfare and performance.
