During late gestation and lactation, increased fat levels in colostrum and milk significantly improve survival rates of baby pigs. Many sows, especially first litter gilts, do not consume enough energy during lactation to maximize milk production and maintain body weight. Weight loss during lactation is a major cause of sows failing to recycle. Adding SELECT 100 to the lactation diet will result in sows consuming more energy while decreasing the interval between weaning and rebreeding. Added fat helps sows recycle faster.

Advantages
As pigs grow, fat fortified rations continue to provide improved feed efficiency, increased palatability, and nutritional action. These are important advantages that work toward improved swine health and productivity.

Feed Efficiency
Studies have shown that fat also aids in appetite control. Lactating sows on added fat diets will consume less feed, since they eat to satisfy their energy needs. SELECT 100 improves feed efficiency for growing pigs too.

Convenient
Solid forms of fat must be melted before they are added to rations and liquid fat can stick to mix and grind equipment. The small size and dry form make SELECT 100 easy to handle and mix.
