SYNGENX® / DIA-V™ NURSERY

• Post-weaning health
• weight gain
• feed conversion

What Producers Are Discovering

Leading producers are learning that SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery postbiotic helps to promote performance and support pig health in nurseries. In 2013, an Eastern Iowa producer tested the product in commercial nursery barns with more than 2,500 pigs.

Weaned 19.5-day-old pigs were sourced from the same sow farm and reared in separate Control and SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery feed additive barns. All pigs tested negative for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia (APP), but tested positive for mycoplasma. In the SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery barn, a swine flu outbreak provided an additional production challenge.

All the young pig diets contained spray-dried plasma, zinc at high levels, organic acids, and a bacillus direct-fed microbial product. The only difference in the control and treatment diets was SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery feed additive.

Feeding SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery postbiotic supported profitability during the nursery period in areas including:

•  Average daily gain
•  Feed conversion
•  Post-weaning IOFC

This commercial study confirms SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery feed additive performance documented in controlled research trials. SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery fermentate supports normal gut structure and function in nursery pigs, promoting overall health, wellness, and productivity.

• SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery piglet feed additive is not a single compound, but rather a microbial fermentate composed of hundreds of bioactive compounds. These bioactives work synergistically with the biology of the animal to support piglet health and performance.
• SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery fermentate is produced using Diamond V’s proprietary Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation technology platform.
• Research shows SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery feed additive goes beyond gut health with dual-action functionality to help support immune function and digestive health. SynGenX / Dia-V Nursery postbiotic supports immune function through a healthy bacterial balance and improved butyrate production. In addition, butyrate has proven digestive health benefits.
