Weaning is a stressful period for young piglets: at weaning and during the first 10-14 days post weaning, piglets face major challenges. It’s a race against time: the piglet is separated from its mother, placed into a new environment with new pen mates and feed is presented in dry form.
At the same time, its digestive tract and immune system are not sufficiently developed yet to cope with all these changes. This often results in loss of appetite and, consequently, a reduced feed and nutrient intake. In particular, a reduced feed intake - one of the main post-weaning challenges in piglets - is seen as a precursor to intestinal imbalances.
In the development of the intestinal tract of piglets, a distinction can be made between the phase immediately after birth and after about 3-6 weeks. While in the first phase the intake of colostrum is essential for the protection, growth and maturation of the intestine, the post weaning period is the time when right nutrition needs to support optimal gut development. The aim here must be to ensure high feed intake through tasty and highly digestible feed to meet the piglet`s energy needs, support microbiota and ensure the development of normal gut health post weaning.
The special composition of selected essential oils and their various active substances show synergistic effects and influence the animals’ metabolism in several ways: essential oils of AROMEX ME stimulate the intestine and its related glands like liver and pancreas to trigger the production of digestive juices, bile acids and enzymes. Consequently, the breakdown of nutrients as well as their absorption is facilitated due to a slower passage of digesta, which results in a measurable improvement of daily weight gain. Moreover, their aromatic compounds have an appetizing effect further stimulating feed intake and positively influencing the anti-oxidant status of the animals.
AROMEX ME is powerful in enhancing the performance of fattening pigs: It improves feed efficiency and growth performance, increases stress tolerance and supports digestion and absorption of nutrients and thus promotes growth in a natural way. All together AROMEX ME contributes significantly to a profitable and effective swine production.
