Feeding programs for pigs

Feeding Programs

For successful pig farming and achieving high productivity показатели, it is necessary to ensure 5 key components:

• High-performance animal genetics
• High-quality, balanced, and complete nutrition
• Excellent housing conditions for animals
• A proper level of veterinary care to ensure good animal health
• Farm management

Without maintaining all these aspects at the required level, achieving high productivity results in animals will be difficult.

However, one of the most important factors is feeding. A properly selected feeding program and high-quality feed additives that meet the needs of modern animal genetics are the key to success for every farm.

In order for every client of VITAGRO NUTRITION to achieve maximum pig productivity, technologists have developed two product lines:

• VITAMIX Profit, which includes prestarter compound feed for piglets and premixes for fattening pigs as well as for pregnant and lactating sows. With the VITAMIX Profit line, the fattening period is 155 days to reach a live weight of 115 kg;
• VITAMIX Premium includes prestarter compound feed, premixes, and protein-vitamin-mineral supplements for all age and production groups. When using the VITAMIX Premium line, the fattening period is 165 days to reach a live weight of 115 kg.

All products in these lines are balanced with all essential nutrients, ensuring the declared high productivity performance.

What Is Vitagro Nutrition Pig Feed Made Of?

For the production of compound feeds, premixes, and protein-vitamin-mineral concentrates (PVMC), we use only high-quality and verified raw materials. Grain components and soybean meal are produced in-house, as we have our own fields where we grow grain, elevators, and a soybean processing plant. Amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and other components are sourced only from trusted manufacturers. All components undergo thorough laboratory testing for quality and compliance. We directly import a large portion of the ingredients used in our feeds and feed additives to ensure real quality and optimal cost.

Accurate information about ingredients is provided on packaging and quality certificates.

Main Types of Compound Feed for Pigs

Compound feed is produced according to feeding standards for each type and age group of animals, ensuring complete nutrition. Vitagro Nutrition takes into account the needs of young animals, sows, and boars, creating unique formulations based on detailed data analysis. The company offers high-quality feeds to ensure high productivity performance for pigs of all age and production groups.

Main types:

1. Prestarter compound feed. Intended for feeding piglets from 5 to 42 days of age. It is balanced with all essential nutrients, has high energy value, and contains lactose and easily digestible proteins. This type of feed promotes the development of the digestive system, rapid growth, and quick adaptation to plant-based feeds.
2. Starter compound feed. Intended for feeding pigs in the starter period (live weight 12–30 kg). It promotes the development of the musculoskeletal system, strengthens immunity, increases disease resistance, and ensures rapid growth.
3. Grower compound feed is designed to enhance and improve the results achieved in previous stages, promote rapid weight gain, and ensure excellent health and condition of the animals.
4. Finisher compound feed should ensure efficient nutrient absorption and be properly balanced in amino acids and energy to achieve high carcass yield and high-quality pork.
5. Compound feed for lactating sows must fully meet their nutritional needs as well as those of suckling piglets. It should contain high levels of energy, protein, and fat to support intensive milk production.
6. Compound feed for pregnant sows should contain sufficient protein, energy, fiber, as well as amino acids and minerals. All these nutrients must meet the needs of both the sow and the developing embryos.

By choosing the right compound feed, you ensure not only proper nutrition but also the productivity and health of your herd.

How to Calculate Daily Feed Intake for Pigs?

When determining feed intake, farmers should consider the age, sex, live weight, and purpose of the animal.

Average daily consumption of complete compound feed:

• prestarter period – 0.19 kg/head/day
• starter period – 1–1.2 kg/head/day
• grower period – 2.2 kg/head/day
• finisher period – 3.0 kg/head/day

It is important to note: the values provided are average.
