Modern hyperprolific sows face multiple, diverse and interconnected challenges throughout their whole production cycle.

They demand more than just feed and need a multidisciplinary approach to reach their full genetic potential efficiently and profitably.

Why Vitasow?

Vitasow is more than a nutritional concept. From early rearing till the final parity, Vitasow will improve the technical results of your animals and thus farm profitability by:

  • Managing sow condition and behavior at each stage

  • Supporting healthy bones and claws

  • Stimulating embryonic and fetal development

  • Ensuring smooth farrowing

  • Promoting feed intake through a unique concept

  • Optimizing colostrum and milk production

  • Boosting vitality of the piglets

  • Minimizing sow mortality

The result

This approach results in healthier sows, robust piglets, and the best achievable lifetime productivity.

This latter is typically defined as:

Weaned piglets per litter

x Weaning weight per litter

x Number of litters per lifetime sow

= Lifetime productivity
