PIG FARMING

OOO Ferment produces a number of highly effective products for pig farming, which allow to increase the profitability of production in this industry and improve the quality of finished products. Its product range includes:

• Immunomodulating biologically active additive Gumovet Kormovoi
• Enzyme feed additive Diatoks

Multi-enzyme compositions FEKORD^® and FITAZIM^® are designed for adding into the feed for swine of all sex and age groups with the purpose of feeding optimization and solving the issues and problems arising in poultry farming.
Industrial pig farming is aimed at intensive uncovering of physiological potential of pigs while reducing the rearing cost. Despite the high rates of development and innovation in pig farming, many problems remain relevant for the industry.

Zootechnical aspects. Physiological inferiority of thermoregulation, digestive organs and immune system of suckling piglets, limited stomach volume, large concentration of livestock in a limited area, stressful environment – all this contributes to the spread of diseases of different aetiologies and requires increased density and digestibility of the feed. The absence of endo-enzymes, which could increase the availability of phosphorus, proteins, carbohydrates, micro- and macroelements, leads to incomplete digestion of expensive elements in the structure of the feed, which limits potential productivity of animals.

Technical and economic aspects. The absence of a full-fledged in-house forage base in many ways predetermines a reduction in the efficiency of pig farming. The presence of anti-nutrients in the feed (up to 35%), underuse of nitrogen (up to 33%) and energy leads to an increase in feed costs. Increased disease incidence rates leads to an increase in the percentage of mortality. The release of undigested nutrients into the environment leads to additional costs associated for the prevention of possible environmental disasters due to contamination of soil and groundwater – construction of water purification systems, etc.

With a view to reducing costs, Fekord and Fitazim enzymatic compositions have been developed, which enable targeted and physiologically justified increase in the proportion of digestible components of dry or liquid feed.

Supplementing of pig diet with exogenous enzymes ensures
FEEDING OPTIMIZATION and PROFITABILITY INCREASE for a pig farm.

• Reduced feed conversion
• Significant reduction in the cost of feed
• Increased livestock survivability
• Increased weight gain and productivity growth

Enzyme feed additives are a mandatory component in the production of mixed feed and forage mixtures for the breakdown of non-starch polysaccharides and enhancing nutritional value of the feed. This is due to the physicochemical properties of the additives:

• cellulase activity,
• xylanase activity,
• β-glucanase activity,
• glucoamylase activity,
• α-amylase activity,
• protease activity,
• mannanase activity, 
• phytase activity.

FEEDING OPTIMIZATION through the use of FEKORD multi-enzyme compositions

• Hydrolytic breakdown of arabinoxylans and β-glucans, cellulose and other non-starch polysaccharides contained in the feed;
• Destruction of cell walls of grain endosperm and increased availability of cellular starch, proteins and fats for endogenous pig gastrointestinal tract enzymes;
• Increased availability of proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc and other minerals;
• Release of phosphorus from phytates due to the action of phytase; significant increase in the digestion of calcium, protein, energy;
• Decrease in feed viscosity, improved digestibility of nutrients and their absorption in the small intestine;
• Compensation of deficiency of digestive enzymes at early stages of development of young animals, when the development of endogenous enzymes is hindered.

FEEDING OPTIMIZATION is an improvement in the quality of products with a simultaneous reduction of veterinary costs:

• Improvement of intestinal microflora, reduction of water consumption and stool moisture;
• Reduction of diarrhoeal diseases;
• Decrease in the incidence of intestinal and indirect lung diseases of the herd;
• Strengthening of the backbone, ligaments of legs, pelvis and lower back; strengthening of the hooves;
• Lowering of acid binding capacity of the feed;
• Proven growth in the number of large-breeds, milkiness in sows and the quality of sperm in boars; quick development of young animals.

FEEDING OPTIMIZATION provides a significant economic effect in obtaining quality lean meat and increases profitability of pig farming:

• Lower feed conversion;
• Significant reduction in the cost of feed;
• Elimination of anti-nutritional factors of freshly harvested grain;
• Up to 25% reduction of the necessity of adding inorganic phosphorus, vegetable oils and fodder fats – up to 16-19 kg per 1 tonne of mixed feed; 
• Increased livestock survivability;
• Proven increase in weight gain and herd productivity. 

GUMOVET Kormovoi^® immunomodulating biologically active feed additive

GUMOVET Kormovoi is a complex of biologically active compounds. It contains ammonium salts; humic and fulvic acids; pectins; phenolic compounds; acidic polysaccharides; amber, lactic, glycolic, malic acid; a number of micro- and macroelements.

GUMOVET Kormovoi possesses the following properties:

• immunostimulating;
• hepatoprotective;
• antiviral;
• interferonogenic;
• growth-stimulating.

GUMOVET Kormovoi is used for enriching the feed for farm animals, including pigs, for the purpose of improving digestion, availability of feed nutrients and increasing the body's resistance.

Beneficial effects of GUMOVET Kormovoi additive in animals:

• Stimulates and enhances the immune system, increases the body's resistance to infectious diseases, which reduces mortality;
• Increases the digestibility of feeds;
• Regulates the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract;
• Is essential for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases;
• Acts a detoxifier (adsorbent) in any feed;
• Can be applied in various ways – with food, milk, drinking water or in the form of aerosol.

GUMOVET Kormovoi ensures:

• Improvement of digestibility and absorption of nutrients contained in the feed;
• Adding antioxidant, detoxifying properties to the feed;
• Increased productivity, natural resistance and survivability of livestock;
• Reduction of the costs associated with treatment and prevention activities;
• Improved quality of livestock products.

GUMOVET Kormovoi is a dark brown liquid with a specific smell of ammonia. It is highly soluble in water. After treatment with GUMOVET Kormovoi additive, agricultural products can be used for feeding without any restrictions.

Application procedure

GUMOVET Kormovoi is recommended for internal use in sows and piglets with food, milk or water:

• for prevention and maintenance of immunity daily – at the rate of 0.7 ml per 1 kg of live weight,
• when there are signs of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases of mixed aetiology – at the rate of 1.0 ml per 1 kg of live weight daily for 10 days.

GUMOVET Kormovoi is added into pig feed by spraying at the rate of 0,3 to 0,8% of the weight of the feed.

DIATOKS^® antidiarrhoeal enzyme feed additive

DIATOKS is an enzyme feed additive, whose main active ingredient is glucose dehydrogenase. DIATOKS significantly reduces diarrhoea; inhibits the growth of salmonella, pathogenic protea, colibacillus, lawsonia; normalizes the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of the animals; successfully prevents intestinal diseases and diarrhoea; contributes to livestock survivability, increased weight gain and productivity of animals.

During the introduction of fresh young grain into the feed, it is recommended to use DIATOKS and additionally FEKORD enzyme feed additive for the prevention of gastrointestinal disorders.

• Prevention and treatment of diarrhoea
• Normalization of intestinal microflora
• Improvement of immune function

Effect of DIATOKS additive on gastrointestinal microflora

Method of application:

DIATOKS is recommended for use in the diets of pigs of different sex and age groups. It allows simultaneous use with other feed additives, including supplements with acidifying agents.

DIATOKS is introduced at the enterprises that manufacture premixes, protein, mineral and vitamin additives and mixed feed or at feed processing shops with the use of existing mixing technologies.

It is allowed to add the additive into the feeder calculated on the basis of feed at a rate of 3.5 g per 100 kg of live weight.

The product is harmless to farm animals and poultry. Its harmlessness is controlled in accordance with established requirements. The products obtained from animals treated with DIATOKS feed additive can be used without any restrictions. Unlike antibiotics, it does not require any safety interval.
