incorporating an immunomodulator into your finisher herd management strategy offers dual benefits: rapid stabilization and heightened vaccine efficacy if used, maximizing the value

Set-up

  • A Farm in Segovia with two buildings of 500 pigs each. All in all out per building but not per farm.
  • This farm was chosen as at the same time, due to flow constrains at that time, the oldest pigs (market weight) share the same farm (but not the same room) with the young 22kg pigs recently transferred.
  •  We have studied 4 consecutive batches and we could see a decline from the transfer weight that started at 22kg down to 19kg. The average can be seen in figure 1.
  • Pigs were tested 5-7 days after arrival. The last batch of the 4 batches without beta glucans was positive to PRRS.
  • The BG batch (supplemented with 200g/t of beta-(1,3)-glucan across all diets) was stable and virus was not circulating thanks to the boost on vaccinal response.

Results

  • In figure 1 we can see that the weight at entry with the BG group was lower, however they managed to reach the same final weight.

Figure 1: Comparison between treatment and control batches

  • When looking at the growth rate and days to slaughter we see amazing results with a reduction of 11 days to slaughter and increased average daily gain by 77g/day. As shown in Figure 2

Figure 2 days to slaughter and average daily gain

  • Now, reducing 11 days is impressive, and if it happens every single batch we could be saving up to 55 days per year which could be between 60-70% of a finisher cycle.
  • Now let’s be real, as this might not be the case all the time as PRRS circulation will fluctuate. But at today’s market price we only need to reach market weight 1.5 days faster to pay for the whole treatment. If we save 11 days in only one batch (the problematic one) per year, we not only pay for the treatment for the whole year, but also we end up making more profit and boosting performance

In conclusion, incorporating an immunomodulator into your finisher herd management strategy offers dual benefits: rapid stabilization and heightened vaccine efficacy, maximizing the value of your investment. To delve deeper into this transformative approach. Empower your operation today!
