How We Work
With the AHV Energy Programme, we aim to increase piglets’ chances of a successful start. The starting performance of piglets affects intestinal health and further development of the animal. Energetic piglets stimulate the sow to produce more valuable colostrum. It is therefore important to give piglets the extra care and attention they need for good health and development during this period.
Benefits
Technology
Quickly absorbable oils and fats, which cannot be used by intestinal bacteria, provide a quick energy boost. Piglets are more energetic and reach the udder faster. This leads to better stimulation of milk production and increases survival rates.
Animal health
Despite being born with an energy deficit, piglets actually have a very high energy requirement for physiological processes. Because energy reserves are limited in newborn piglets, they are completely dependent on colostrum and milk for energy. With this programme, we give your piglets a kickstart to ensure sufficient colostrum and energy intake to maintain gastrointestinal integrity and stability.
Financial
Vitality of piglets is very important to ensure survival and development. A healthy gut contributes to reaching the piglet’s genetic potential. By improving gut health before weaning, piglets are less likely to experience the negative effects of all the changes around weaning, reducing extra costs and growth retardation.
