Content: A great feed will do only so much for poor genetic potential. However, a poor-quality feed can ruin great genetics. Receiving pigs
If you purchase a pig (s) from a pig sale, consider medicating the pig for at least 14 days after purchase. When pigs are placed in the same air space as other pigs with a differing immune status the result can have serious consequences, if not properly addressed. Feeds medicated with Carbadox or Denagard ®, are appropriate for receiving young newly purchased pigs. Injectable antibiotics are appropriate (consult your local veterinarian). Water soluble medication is also applicable. HONOR ® Show FIRST WEAN™ 319 or 519 pig feed, medicated with 35 grams/ton Denagard ® is a very good choice for receiving pigs. This medication offers support for respiratory health and the gut immune system. Remember that muscle is protein, and protein is comprised of amino acids.
