Grow-Finish Nutrition
Less Waste. More Pounds.
Profit is made or lost in the grow-finish phase, and it all comes down to how well pigs convert feed. That’s why Ralco’s EnMAX® nutrition is designed to reduce waste, lower ingredient costs and improve feed efficiency without sacrificing performance. Fewer fall-behinds. More full-value pigs.

Energy Maximizing Diets
EnMAX nutrition is built on Net Energy formulation and delivers more usable energy per pound of feed, optimizing digestibility and eliminating costly waste.
Benefits
Better feed efficiency without added fat
Fewer fall-behinds and more full-value pigs
Lower feed cost per pound of gain
Flexible ingredient options to control cost
What Makes EnMAX Diets Different?
EnMAX diets break away from the traditional high-fat, high-soybean meal approach to formulation. By using more corn and crystalline amino acids, pigs get the nutrients they need without the waste that slows them down or costs you more money.
These diets use Net Energy to reflect how pigs actually utilize nutrients for growth, not just digestion. That leads to less digestive stress, cooler pigs and improved feed conversion.
Key Differentiators
- Net Energy formulation directs nutrients toward gain
- Lower crude protein reduces nitrogen and ammonia output
- Crystalline amino acids meet needs without oversupply
- Patented enzyme technology unlocks hidden energy
- More corn, less soybean meal reduces cost and digestive stress
- Lower heat increment supports intake during heat stress
Better for the Barn, and the Environment
EnMAX diets don’t just cut costs, they reduce excess waste. Because these diets are lower in crude protein, pigs excrete less nitrogen in their manure which means less ammonia in the air and fewer challenges with storage and application.
Pigs on EnMAX also drink less water, leading to lower manure volume overall. In one large comparison study, pigs fed EnMAX consumed 36 fewer gallons of water per head, an advantage that adds up fast when you’re managing pit space and pumping schedules.
