CONTROL
Dietic feed promotes metabolic balance and intestinal function, resulting in maintaining water and electrolyte balance to support the piglets’ physiological digestion.
The gut of the newborn pig is sterile but is colonised rapidly by bacteria. Piglets are born with an immature mucosal immune system at birth and are therefore more susceptible to disturbances in the intestinal microbiota. When not receiving sufficient quality colostrum, the piglets may develop digestive disturbances in the intestinal microbiota, with all its consequences. Neonatal diarrhoea (ND) in piglets is of significant importance for the pig industry as it causes economic losses due to increased morbidity and mortality, decreased weight gain, and the need for extra medications and, therefore, extra labour.
How to use the AHV Piglet Control
Applying AHV Piglet Control leads to the active reduction of neonatal diarrhoea. This will result in more active piglets that maintain their desired health status and therefore growth and production levels.
AHV Piglet Control is to be administered orally. With a drencher, administer 2ml to every piglet in the litter showing definite signs of diarrhoea (loose faeces with a clear colour change away from the physiological dark brown).
In cases of severe diarrhoea repeat after 12-24 hours for up to seven days. If problems start later (after 10 days of age) the dose can be increased up to 4ml.
To combine with:
AHV Piglet Control is part of the AHV Health programme and its products to support an optimal start to the development of newborn piglets and their survival rate. AHV’s specialists will work with you to customise a protocol that fits your needs.
