Pig Health (Herd specific)
A combination of remedies to promote optimum health & well being. By analysing a selection of hair from your pigs we make this remedy specific to your herd as every farm has different bacteria's & viruses present.
A test should then be done routinely every 6 months to keep on top of new bacteria's & viruses. If you take in new pigs on a regular basis we suggest a test is done with each new batch.
Weaning
Aid the reduction of stress, shock, grief & seperation anxiety that effects all piglets at this time, by using this combination remedy. This stressful time can cause a check in growth & effect the immune system leaving the weaners vulnerable to disease.
Digestive Enhancer
Designed to help with digestion & assimilation, correcting imbalances in the digestive system. This remedy should improve food conversion ratios, DLWG & digestive disorders. Reducing problems associated with the withdrawal of antibiotic growth promoters from pig feed.
Drying Off Remedy
To speed up the drying off process therefore making the sow more comfortable & less prone to mastitis.

Probiotics for British Saddleback piglets.
To help the beneficial gut flora become well established in young Saddleback piglets probiotics sourced from Crossgates Bioenergetics is added to their creep feed. By encoraging the beneficial gut flora all the nasties like ecoli and salmonella can be greatly reduced enabling the small Saddleback piglets to flourish. (millions of beneficial bacteria crowd out,disease promoting bad bacteria)
I continue to feed these probiotics which is a white powder, easily added to their creep feed,until the piglets are well established and growing well(approx 40 kilo live weight). Show pigs ,the elite British Saddleback pigs, are fed the probiotics throughout the show season until September.I find this helps to avoid digestive upsets caused by travel and days away at shows,reducing the stress to the Saddleback pigs.
Today, Crossgates Bioenergetics are able to add beneficial herd specific remedies[resonances] based on hair test analysis,therefore enabling even healthier Saddleback pigs. When these probiotics and remedies are fed to the sow pre and post farrowing it ensures that the Saddleback sows colostrum will offer maximum health benefit to the new born piglets,before they are introduced to creep feed.
Beneficial gut bacteria,improves and promotes efficient digestion,improving daily weight gain through better food conversion,and leads to an enhanced immune system. Happier, healthier Saddleback pigs, that are winners in the show ring and with the butchers.
Probiotics form a very important part in the equation 'prevention is better than cure',the basic physiology of my British Saddleback pig keeping.
