REDUCE PRE-WEAN MORTALITY
Improved sow genetics and management practices have resulted in larger litter sizes - but also smaller average piglet weights. Pre-wean mortality rates are now higher than ever before as smaller piglets struggle to thrive.

“When I use First Pulse D, I can tell the difference the same day I give a treatment, sometimes within an hour of using the supplement. Each dose has a noticeable impact on appetite and energy.”

PRE-WEAN MORTALITY IS AT A 5-YEAR HIGH

2021 data showed pre-wean mortality held back production gains:
-
Average born alive was 13.6, +0.20 over 2020.1
-
Pigs weaned per sow was 11.4, +0.09 over 2020.1
-
Five-year high in pre-wean piglet mortality was 14.4%, +1.4% over 2020.1

Pre-weaning mortality ranges from 8.5% (best 10%) to 20.5% (worst 10%).1
