Benefits of Micro-Aid® for Nursery Pig Performance
Micro-Aid® has been extensively researched across multiple livestock species and has consistently demonstrated benefits related to animal performance, health, and nutrient utilization.
One nursery pig study evaluated how Micro-Aid performed when included in diets containing higher levels of soybean meal.
Research Highlights
Pigs receiving Micro-Aid showed:
- Improved growth performance during the early nursery phase
- Better feed efficiency compared to pigs fed a high soybean meal diet alone
- Performance similar to pigs fed a traditional nursery diet
These results suggest that Micro-Aid can help support pigs during the transition following weaning, when digestive and nutritional challenges are often greatest.
Supporting Nutrient Utilization
Newly weaned pigs must adapt to significant dietary changes. During this period, efficient nutrient utilization is critical to maintaining growth performance.
Research has shown that Micro-Aid works enterically to promote a healthier gastrointestinal tract environment. By supporting gut health, Micro-Aid helps pigs better utilize available nutrients and maintain performance.
Greater Flexibility in Nursery Diets
One of the most notable findings from this research was the ability to utilize higher levels of soybean meal while maintaining performance when Micro-Aid was included in the diet.
Potential benefits include:
- Greater flexibility in diet formulation
- Reduced reliance on more expensive protein sources
- Continued support for nursery pig performance
The Micro-Aid® Advantage
Extensive research has demonstrated the environmental, performance, and health benefits of Micro-Aid across numerous livestock and poultry species.
This study further demonstrates how Micro-Aid can help support nutrient utilization and growth performance in nursery pigs by promoting a healthier gastrointestinal tract environment.
