Feed additive can be weighty help
OPTIMISE growth of young pigs, calves and poultry by improving feed digestibility with the natural feed additive Biogrow, says supplier Provita.
The company explains that Biogrow helps establish a healthy gut microflora and improves animal productivity through improved feed conversion. It claims that when feeding Biogrow post-weaning daily liveweight gain has increased by 11% in piglets and 7% in calves, and feed conversion rate has increased by 9.5% in piglets and 4% in calves.
The product provides an alternative to antibiotics and growth promoters, and can be used in home-mixes, added to concentrates by compounders, or included in mineral licks, adds Provita. It can be included in a tonne of feed for about £5.50 (01662-252352).
