As an essential tool in farrowing units, Mistral® boosts the profitability of pig farming by improving performance especially through the increased survival rate of piglets (decreased mortality in farrowing-unit by 28% to -72%) and the reduction of the pathogenic pressure (bacterial count reduction).
Improving piglet’s well-being at farrowing
In a study performed on an 8,000 sow farm, the effect of Mistral® was evaluated on piglet’s performance and well-being. It was proven that using Mistral® at birth in the farrowing crates:
Significantly increased (P<0.05) skin body temperature after birth: piglets wasted less energy to dry out.
Helped umbilical cords to dry and drop faster: the door was closed to pathogens.
Reduced total bacterial counts in the animal’s environment: pathogenic pressure was reduced.
Consequently, a significant reduction of diarrhea occurrence, with no recurrence was observed.
