CUSTOMER SUCCESS WITH RALCO
“Mortality during finishing was ranging as high as 8-10% from HBS with most cases when my hogs weighed 150 – 300 lbs. Since implementing Ralco’s recommendations it has completely stopped.” -Iowa Swine Producer
“My nursery mortality was at 3% over an 8-week turn with some Mulberry Heart losses. This isn’t a bad nursery performance, but I wanted it to be better. After using Ralco’s recommendations mortality is at 1.7% for this group.” -South Dakota Swine Producer
“My swine herd is largely a high health operation with minimal mortality. However, with less tools and after seeing the biological benefits of Ralco’s approach, the return on investment was strong enough for me to implement it throughout my entire grow-finish production system. All 200,000 pigs.” -South Dakota Swine Producer

PROVEN SUCCESS
In a study with 60,000 finishing pigs on farms that commonly had HBS, Ralco helped reduce mortality by 87.5%. Pigs on the Ralco health plan were 8.5 times more likely to survive.
In another study, a 7,000-sow farrow-to-finish farm in Pennsylvania was experiencing a persistent E. coli challenge in their nursery pigs. After implementing the Ralco health plan scours reduced and resulted in 2.7 more pigs per sow per year. This increased income by $108 per sow per year x 7,000 sows = $756,000 more for the producer.
In a study with a high pre-weaning mortality due to C. perfringens, Ralco helped reduce pre-weaning mortality by 60% and resulted in +0.74 piglets weaned. Piglets were also 2.81 times more likely to survive.
SERVING THE INDUSTRY
Providing swine producers with effective tools they can trust is critical. In a recent third-party survey conducted by C.F. Grass and surveying producers, Ralco ranked at the top for providing solutions to help reduce antibiotic use in swine.
Another study done by C.F. grass surveying swine producers found that Ralco ranked #1 in satisfaction and service.
