Troubleshooting problems with the feed conversion ratio: Diet
Which dietary factors can affect the feed conversion ratio? Enric Marco talks about how the energy and protein values of feed, the particle size, and mycotoxins can make us lose money.
Earlyfeed incorporates a novel flavor strategy for piglet feed intake
The flavoring, Piglet’s Flavorit, will be included in the Babi® creep feed line and the Vitastart starter concentrates.
Troubleshooting problems with the feed conversion ratio
Feed represents approximately 60% of the costs in pig production. It is therefore very important to have a good feed conversion ratio.
