Reduced feed intake, diarrhoea, stunted growth: stress during weaning has a direct impact on the profitability of the farm. Ensuring a good start for piglets is therefore essential, not only for their health and well-being, but also for their performance during fattening. Techna provides a comprehensive solution to ensure this transition, focusing on the sow-piglet bond and high-precision post-weaning nutrition, which has become key with demedication.
The sow will transmit the first key elements of defence to the piglet: immunity (passive via colostrum) and microbiota (vertical transmission via faeces).
Rapid absorption of colostrum, in sufficient quantity and quality, and the establishment of a diverse and stable microbiota promote immunity, intestinal maturation and resistance to infection. Early ingestion of feed under the mother's care is also essential to prepare the piglet to consume and digest the 1st age feed.
The success of weaning depends on a high-quality starter feed. To stimulate consumption and prevent digestive problems, it must be highly palatable and highly digestible. The choice of noble raw materials and control of its physical quality (granulometry, hardness) are therefore essential. This expertise in formulation ideally prepares the transition to 2nd age feedd and its specific nutritional characteristics.
Thanks to its investment in R&D and precision nutrition, Techna supports genetic progress and offers solutions that have been scientifically validated in experimental stations and in the field:
- IMUN’UP is a product that supports the immune defences of sows and piglets. It improves colostrum quality (+15% IgG on average), reduces mortality and improves performance (+1.5 kg potential at the end of post-weaning) to facilitate drug-free weaning.
- REGAL CONCEPT offers manufacturers the expertise in nutrition, formulation, technology and quality control they need to produce high-performance, palatable first and second stage feeds themselves. This tailor-made solution guarantees optimum digestive safety, while improving the performance, homogeneity and robustness of the animals.
- WEFEED CHECK: an assessment tool for rearing conditions (audit) to suggest areas for improvement and express the potential of the post-weaning feeding programme.
