PorkTrack® for Starter Pigs
Features
Starter pigs undergo significant changes in their digestive system and are often limited by their digestive capacity. The onset of weaning, coupled with the starter pig’s inexperience with dry feed, leads to lower nutrient absorption. This stressful period in a young pig’s life requires the best nutrition, backed by the best innovative research.
Nutrena’s PorkTrack® for Starter Pigs is a pelleted feed, specially formulated to meet your young pig’s complete nutrient requirements. Every bag of PorkTrack® for Starter Pigs comes with a unique combination of nutrients to give your pigs a nutritional edge.
- Balanced amino acids supply the right amino acid levels and ratios for optimal performance.
- Added plasma & peptones provide readily absorbed amino acids for gut repair.
- Balanced carbohydrates, including lactose promote favorable gut flora and pig performance.
- Nutrient-dense formulation supports limited intakes associated with weaning stress.
- Added fermentable fiber encourages a viable, healthy gut.
- Added copper assists with energy digestion and the transition to dry food.
- Added zinc leads to a healthy immune response.
