Omega-3 for Swine

Omega-3 (EPA and DHA) for swine

How marine omega-3 supports sow reproductive performance and piglet vitality, delivered as a stable dry powder for gestation and lactation diets.

Why omega-3

Why sows and piglets benefit from EPA and DHA

In sow and piglet nutrition, the long-chain marine omega-3s EPA and DHA are associated with supporting reproductive performance and the vitality of the piglets. DHA in particular transfers to the developing and nursing piglet and supports early development.

Adding EPA and DHA to gestation and lactation diets gives formulators a way to support the sow across the breeding cycle. A dry, free-flowing powder makes that practical to include in premixes and complete feeds.
