SOWEENA DRY FAT 4-80 - the fat source for swine rations


Introduction | Packaging | Product| Guaranteed Analysis| Ingredients| Feeding Directions

Recent studies have shown that fat aids in appetite control. A lactating sow on an added fat diet, for instance, will consume less feed, since she eats to satisfy her energy needs.

Added fat helps sows recycle faster, too. Many sows, especially first litter gilts, do not consume enough energy during lactation to maximize milk production and maintain body weight. During late gestation and lactation, increased fat levels in colostrum and milk significantly improve survival rates of baby pigs.

Feed efficiency for sows and pigs
Weight loss during lactation is a major cause of sows failing to recycle. Adding SOWEENA 4-80 to the lactation diet will result in sows consuming more energy while decreasing the interval between weaning and rebreeding. This keeps the high producing sows in the breeding herd.

The 80% fat level of SOWEENA Dry Fat 4-80 will improve feed efficiency for growing pigs too, reducing the cost per pound of gain. It helps weanling pigs grow faster, and allows you to get pigs through confinement facilities faster, lowering the total cost per pig.

The 80% Animal Fat That Is 98% Digestible
4-80 is choice white grease encapsulated in a thin layer of corn syrup solids and milk protein. This unique process breaks the fat molecule size down from 20 microns to 4 microns and greatly improves digestibility.

Packaging:
Packaged in 40 lb (18.14 kg) easy-open bags, with separate heat-sealed poly liners for moisture protection.
