STRONGER PIGLETS TODAY
BETTER PERFORMANCE TOMORROW
“A good start has a great influence on the piglet’s growth in later life.” – Wim Verstraete.
WHY THE SUCKLING PIGLET PROGRAM WORKS FOR YOU
Do you have weak or uneven litters, or piglets that struggle to get started after farrowing?
Most early-life challenges begin in the farrowing house, when piglets need energy, colostrum, and digestive stability the most. Setbacks in these first days can lead to extra care, uneven growth, or losses later in life. Don’t let the smallest piglets fall behind.
With the AHV Suckling Piglet Program, you can support your piglets from the very start, promote vitality, and maintain a healthy digestive balance. The result? Stronger, more uniform litters and better lifetime performance.
PRODUCT SYNERGY
AHV Activate Liquid and AHV Control Liquid form a powerful combination to support piglet vitality and gut stability in the farrowing phase.
AHV Activate Liquid provides fast energy and supports colostrum intake to help weak or small piglets stay active and strong after birth. AHV Control Liquid complements this by stabilising digestion and supporting gut health during critical early-life stages, especially in high-risk litters such as gilts.
Together, they offer a complete, efficient solution for proactive and reactive piglet management. This approach promotes healthier, more uniform litters, supports responsible antibiotic use practices, and helps improve overall productivity and welfare.
“Improving Piglet Vitality Is the Main Goal”
Nijhof Pig Farm B.V., located in Haaksbergen, is run by the Nijhof family. The day-to-day operations are managed by the family of four, along with several permanent employees. When the farm experienced diarrhoea among newborn piglets in 2020, it was time for a change. Want to discover how they tackled this with AHV?

Proactive Use
Support During Critical Early Life Stages
- Activate Liquid
Supports early colostrum intake and energy supply, helping maintain vitality in the first days of life. Administer 1 ml orally (yellow drench) within the first 24 hours after birth to weak, small, or low-vitality piglets.
Can be repeated later if additional energy support is needed. - Control Liquid
Administer 2 ml orally (grey drench) in the first week after farrowing for high-risk litters (e.g. gilts). Apply approximately one day before the expected onset of digestive challenges to support gut health during critical periods.
Helps maintain gut stability and growth, contributing to more uniform litters.
Reactive Use
Support During Challenging Situations
- Activate Liquid
Use as an energy boost for weak, small, or low-vitality piglets during the first days of life. Administer 1 ml orally and repeat if necessary to maintain energy and vitality. - Control Liquid
Apply when digestive disturbances are first observed in the litter. Administer 2 ml orally per piglet. In more challenging situations, the dose can be repeated after 12–24 hours for up to 7 days. Supports physiological digestion and helps maintain gut stability during periods of stress.
