On-demand: Webinar on innovative technologies to care for piglets
The webinar Innovative cutting-edge technologies to care for piglets, hosted by Pig Progress, in collaboration with Trouw Nutrition on Tuesday March 18, explores how a healthier piglet will always perform better, be more sustainable, more efficient and more profitable. The speakers discussed diet formulation, gut health and functionality, particle size and the Milkiwean Vital Start Program. This webinar is now available to watch on demand.
Trouw Nutrition, as a benchmark and pioneer in piglet nutrition is the architect of efficient and sustainable solutions for piglets.The industry, from feed millers to farmers to retailers, are engaged to produce meat with fewer chemicals, such as zinc oxide and antimicrobials, moving from curative to preventive nutrition and health.
A healthier start for piglets allows for more sustainable production, with reduced reliance on antimicrobials.
The importance of kinetics of protein digestion and dietary fibre fermentation
Neil Jaworski, Head of Nutrition, Formulation and Animal Modeling at Trouw Nutrition kicked off the webinar. He spoke about cutting-edge diet formulation for piglets and the importance of kinetics of protein digestion and dietary fibre fermentation, which is a key pillar in the Milkiwean Vital Start Program. He highlighted the rate of digestion in piglets, and gut and stomach finctionality, and the purpose and role of Kinetio technology, which is a key innovation to overcome post-weaning challenges.
ParticleCheck Technology
Wim Lannoy, Swine Nutritionist at Trouw Nutrition Belgium, was up next. When working on piglet care and health, addressing gut functionality is in most of the case considered as first priority, he says, noting the innovative ParticleCheck Technology for enhanced stomach and intestinal functionality. He also highlighted piglet gut health and issues related to a disruption in feed intake, as well as the effect of particle size on stomach pH and the emptying of nutrients.
Milkiwean Vital Start Program
Tijl Vanmeenen, Technical Sales Manager Young Animal Feed Swine in ECA region at Trouw Nutrition, spoke about the Milkiwean Vital Start Program, which he said is an exclusive programme to deliver tailored solutions and services to sustainably enhance piglet health and growth.
