Engaging Pathogen Reduction Strategies for Antibiotic-Free Swine Farming
The world is facing a growing challenge: antibiotic resistance. This concern is pushing the animal husbandry industry, around the world, to explore alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Here’s your guide to making effective changes, especially in swine production.
Why rethink antibiotics and zinc oxide?
Antibiotics and high levels of zinc oxide (ZnO) have been standard in animal farming for years. However, pressure is mounting to reduce their use due to environmental concerns and the potential for antibiotic resistance. Lowering ZnO? No problem there are innovative ways to manage pathogen pressure.
The role of feed in demedication
Reducing medication isn’t just one-dimensional. Feed strategies play a crucial role in this transformation. Are you exploring non-medicated feeding strategies or ways to cut back on ZnO? Read on to discover how you can enhance your herd's health without relying on high-dose antibiotics.
Jefo's innovative solution: organic acids and essential oils
Jefo has crafted a unique blend of Protected Organic Acids (OA) and Essential Oils (EO) using advanced Jefo Matrix Technology. This formula targets pathogens at different stages in swine production including nursery and grow-finish stages— piglets, and fattening pigs. How does it work? By harnessing the power of OA and EO in a synergistic relationship, this method outperforms using either OA or EO alone.
Benefits of protecting Organic Acids and Essential Oils
Why is protection essential? It ensures:
- Safe handling for workers
- Non-corrosive effects on equipment
- No unwanted interactions with other feed nutrients
Protected OA and EO remain intact until they reach the intestine, where they effectively combat bacteria.
Targeted pathogen control across all stages
Managing pathogen pressure is key to swine health and performance. Here's how Jefo's solution makes a difference:
For piglets
- Supports strategies for demedication and reduced ZnO
- Improves gut integrity, health, and overall performance
For fattening pigs
- Maintains gut integrity
- Support growth performance
- Controls pathogens effectively
Ready to transform your swine production?
Embrace the future of swine production with innovative, safe, and effective feeding strategies to reduce pathogenic pressure. Transitioning away from antibiotics and high-dose ZnO has never been more achievable.
