Is Lianol a hormone?

No, Lianol isn’t a hormone. Lianol is an active, natural molecule originating from a fermentation process. Lianol supports the immune system and stimulates the production of a natural, body's-own growth factor (IGF-1), causing the IGF-1 content to rise.

What is IGF-1?

IGF-1 stands for insulin-like growth factor. Like the name declares, it’s like "the brother" of insulin. Both messenger substances play an important role in various development processes of the body.

Insulin determines a tight regulation of the blood sugar level. It ensures that there is always enough energy available for the body to work with.

However, the growth factor IGF-1ensures the growth and development of all types of body cells and organs. These are, for example, egg-cells, muscle cells, blood vessels, etc. In this way, insulin and IGF-1 are compatible.

What effect does Lianol have before farrowing?

Lianol (through IGF-1) stimulates the creation of new microscopical blood vessels in the placenta. This increases the supply of nutrients and oxygen for each piglet. It increases the exchange capacity of the placenta for nutrients as well. This leads to heavier and more active piglets at birth.

What effect does Lianol have after farrowing?

Cleansing of the uterus will be easier through modulation and reduction of the inflammation process. This helps the sow to feel and to eat better. After farrowing, Lianol stimulates a better onset of the milk production. IGF1 positively influences the development of the mammary gland and the actual start of milk production.

How does Lianol affect the birth weight of piglets?

The birth weight of a piglet is mainly determined by:

• the body condition of the sow
• the exchange of nutrients between the sow and the piglet in the last 20 days of gestation. In the last 2-3 weeks of gestation, 1/3 of the total piglet growth takes place.

Even in the relatively short period before farrowing, Lianol can exert a positive influence on the average birth weight. It ensures a better transfer of nutrients between the sow and the piglets and it provides a better blood flow in the placenta.

Which sows do I treat around farrowing?

Best is to treat all the sows because IGF-1 content decreases in times of stress. Changing of housing (entering the farrowing pen) and sometimes of diet requires an enormous adjustment. This is accompanied by a lot of stress. Optimal support is therefore advisable.

How does Lianol boost milk production?

Lianol increases the growth factor content IGF-1 in the blood. Together with prolactin, IGF-1 increases both the number of milk producing cells and the yield of each individual cell. Therefore, Lianol helps to create MORE milk-producing cells in the mammary gland. Lianol enhances the effect of a good transition diet.

I already use a transition diet (from gestation to lactation), in order to have a good start of the lactation. Why should I use Lianol?

Lianol increases the growth factor content IGF-1 in the blood. Together with prolactin, IGF-1 increases both the number of milk producing cells and the yield of each individual cell. Therefore, Lianol helps to create MORE milk-producing cells in the mammary gland. Lianol enhances the effect of a good transition diet.
