Are feed additives the key to better swine health and production? Non-medicated feed additives are becoming key tools in enhancing swine health and production efficiency. Here's why Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs) are a game-changer: 1) Supporting immune modulation: These fatty acids help stimulate neutralizing antibodies, improving immune resilience. 2) Gut-lung health: MCFAs are vital for maintaining the delicate balance in the gut and lungs, areas crucial for swine immunity. 3) Efficiency gains: By enhancing production resilience, these additives can help reduce losses and boost overall efficiency on the farm. What can you do today to optimize your PRRS management strategy? Feed additives can be the solution that many in the industry have been looking for. They are evolving our approach to swine health, and focusing on them means focusing on the long-term health and productivity of your herd. P.S.
