Starting pigs requires precision formulation and high-quality ingredients because meeting the nutritional demands of rapidly changing pigs is a challenge. Accomplishing this in a convenient way with easy execution is hard.
With highly variable feeding strategies, both by system and by health challenge, balancing precision in diet formulation with flexibility and convenience can be difficult. Ingredients in nursery diets are historically hard to deliver to a mill while maintaining ingredient quality and flow, making diet changes tougher.
FlexStart Starts Pigs Strong.
FlexStart allows flexibility to transition the pig through the nursery phase from phase 1 to phase 3 diets in a seamless manner as health conditions, weaning ages, or feed budgets need to change. Thus, the same product can be utilized with variable inclusion to make diets denser when the pig needs it or reduce inclusion to save costs when health allows it.
You can learn a lot feeding more nursery pigs than any other nutrition company.
