Swine

Every stage of swine production brings unique challenges. At Ralco, we engineer natural solutions that help pigs stay healthier and reach full value. From gestation to finishing, our science-backed technologies give producers more control over gut health, immunity and performance.

Our Technology Story

Innovative Technologies for Swine Health

Ralco’s technologies are built for one purpose, helping producers raise healthier pigs. Each innovation is backed by decades of research, tested in production environments and built around a deep understanding of how plant-based tools impact swine health and performance.

Supports Beneficial Bacteria

Our technologies are proven to shield good microbes in the gut, like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, so pigs maintain better digestion, nutrient absorption and health through times of stress.

Supports Gut Microbiota Balance

By feeding the right microbial populations and improving the gut or root environment, our solutions create an environment where beneficial microbes can thrive.

Delivers Targeted Formulations

We match phytonutrient ingredients to specific swine challenges using mapped NEXUS™ profiles. That means every product is built for a purpose, not just a label or one-size-fits-all approach.

Supports Natural Immunity

Ralco technologies help support the structural integrity of the gut linin, contributing to animals’ overall resilience and comfort during everyday production challenges.

Helps Systems Handle Everyday Stress

Healthier systems, whether in the gut or soil, perform more consistently under pressure. Our innovations support balance and structural integrity, helping operations stay on track during high-stress periods or challenges.

Consistent Performance

Backed by decades of research and global use, our essential oil technologies are built for consistency. Patented delivery systems and rigorous quality control ensure reliable performance across species and production systems.

Whatever You’re Up Against

From production pressure to performance gaps, our natural technologies are backed by decades of research and real-world success in commercial systems.

Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS)

Reduced mortality by 87.5% in finishing pigs across a 60,000-head system.

Study EXP S19-14

Clostridium perfringens

60% lower pre-weaning mortality and 2.81x higher survival rate in piglets.

Study EXP S10-02

Sow & Colostrum Quality

Essential oil fed sows improved litter weight gain, immunity and carcass weights.

Study EXP S05

Growth Promotion

Pigs gained 2.57 lbs. more and had 0.22 better feed efficiency without antibiotics.

Study EXP S15-02

Viruses (PRRS, PEDv)

Reduced mortality and supported performance.

EC-110 for Nursery Pigs

A one-gallon plastic jug labeled "SpeciFix EC-110," a water additive for nursery pigs, produced by Ralco. The label features a pig silhouette and text supporting animal health.

EC-110 is Ralco’s latest natural solution to help support digestive health in weaned pigs. Powered by Microfused Essential Oils and Actifibe Prebiotic, EC-110 helps support gut health and normal immune function, helping pigs maintain performance during periods of production stress.

Research demonstrated early nursery performance when EC-110 was included as part of a nursery program. Designed to complement your existing program, EC-110 provides a natural option to help support pigs during critical production periods.

What Producers Are Saying

Fewer Scours, Healthier Calves

“We’ve dealt with scours in the ground for years, but after giving every calf Start Strong for Calves at birth, we didn’t have to start doctoring until much later than usual and treated far fewer calves overall. When we did treat calves, one round of Rapid Strike and a dose of Albon was typically all it took. Even our toughest cases turned around fast!”

Kresta H.
Rancher

Fast Response in Weak Calves

“Had a set of twins that were a little slow. Gave them a dose of Start Strong for Calves and was amazed. Both got up and nursed. Now it’s part of my newborn regimen.”

Paul L.
Beef Producer

Stronger Starts at Weaning

“We’ve pulled 20–25% fewer calves than normal. And the calves that needed to be treated responded really well while on Fight Strong Pellet.”
