tecnipec presents the new Suilac GREEN 

tecnipec presents, at the 24th National Pig Trade Fair that takes place in Montijo (Portugal) until May 19, the new Suilac GREEN, a prestarter without medication for piglets.

Following the current situation and preparing the future needs of the animal feed industry, in a perspective of demedicalizing animal feed, especially for pigs, tecnipec has for some time started to develop products free from preventive medication, antibiotics and harmful additives, wich will soon be totally banned in animal feed production.

Suilac GREEN, a prestarter for piglets, has been designed using natural additives, allowing a number of beneficial actions for the animal's digestive system, promoting the welfare, protection and development of the piglets, preparing them for the upcoming stages of their growth.

In a moddern and competitive pig farm, it is a set of attitudes and decisions that lead to its success.

The use of a prestarter without medication is not, in itself, the solution for the piglets' digestive problems, which are currently solved with the use of antibiotics and especiallu with zinc oxide.

Suilac GREEN's use must take into account a group of preventive actions, that are the farms' responsability, in order to ensure the product's highest efficiency:

• Guarantee the farms' excellent biosafety;

• Adequate vaccination plan, with the farms' veterinarian agreement;

• Promotion of good environmental conditions, in particular regarding temperature and ventilation control, both in maternities and in batteries. Everything in - everything out system, with the implementation of a strict plan for washing and disinfecting the installations and equipment;

• Maternity management adapted to each specific situation and according to the production plan;
​
• Encourage good access to feeders and drinkers to ensure the piglets a regular intake of quality feed and water.

Suilac GREEN prepares the piglets for the next stages without medication, promoting intestinal villi's growth and protection, the adaptation of intestinal microbiota, good physiological growth of the intestine, immunity and feed consumption.
