New: DualSnack-dish®
TEACH YOUR YOUNG PIGLETS TO DRINK AND EAT AT A VERY EARLY STAGE, IN A PLAYFUL WAY!! Playfully, out of curiosity, all piglets drink and eat within 48 hours of birth!
They discover the water/food dish to take in water with Basdiar and dry food. It stimulates ROOTING reflexes through the characteristic investigative behavior of young piglets. Basdiar (10%) that is added to the water smells like earth due to a combination of brown algae, iron and minerals (montmorillonite-illite). In the higher dish section, you can add a (pre)-starter food/weaning food, which offers plant-based food at a very early stage, so that a healthy microbiome in the intestines is created and the digestive mechanism is activated.
In addition, Basdiar binds (endo-) toxins, causing the intestinal villi to develop faster, resulting in a more effective, healthier and better performance of the digestion process. It stimulates a higher feed intake in the farrowing pen and a higher weaning weight, resulting in uniform litter weights.
An additional advantage is that in addition to better intestinal health and early habituation to (pre)-starter feeds, the transition to the weaning period is gradual, with the additional advantage that the weaning dip is limited.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BALANCED MICROBIOME IN THE INTESTINES THEREFORE BEGINS IN THE FIRST HOURS OF LIFE, IMMEDIATELY AFTER ABSORPTION OF THE FIRST COLOSTRUM.
