Swine

A piglet looks up and is surrounded by other piglets.

Today’s challenges

Swine producers are faced with disease challenges and increased feed costs. You need effective solutions to address swine health issues, enhance feed efficiency and promote the well-being of your pigs. We can help.

Health challenges  

Swine are challenged with health issues like S.Suis, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), oxidative stress and inflammation. Our research shows monoglycerides of short- and medium-chain fatty acids can improve swine performance at different growth stages. Explore Eastman Entero-Nova™ and Eastman Protaq™.

Weaning stress  

Weaning is stressful for piglets with bacterial challenges like E. coli. The appropriate diet is crucial to minimize the impact of weaning stress on their vulnerable systems.    

Antibiotic and zinc oxide reduction 

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global public health concern. Specialty feed ingredients and additives have shown promise as an alternative to antibiotics and other substances of concern to improve gut health.  

Feed and stomach acidification

Formic acid reduces feed pH, consequently improving nutrient digestibility in nursery, grower and finisher pigs. Combined with other organic acids, formic acid acts as a first barrier for pathogenic bacteria. See Eastman Acitra™

Managing microbiota via drinking water 

Adding organic acids to water allows greater flexibility for timely and specific pathogen control than in-feed supplementation. It also helps maintain healthy swine gut microflora, resulting in better animal performance. See Eastman Protaq™
