How marine omega-3 EPA and DHA fit sow and piglet nutrition, delivered as a stable dry powder for gestation and lactation diets.
In sow and piglet nutrition, the long-chain marine omega-3s EPA and DHA are nutrients associated with reproductive performance and piglet vigor. DHA in particular transfers to the developing and nursing piglet, where it is a structural component of developing neural and retinal tissue.
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.
EPA and DHA are nutrients with recognized roles in reproductive tissue and prostaglandin metabolism; research has examined their contribution to sow reproductive performance.
Omega-3 nutrition in the sow is associated with piglet birth condition and early vigor.
DHA is a key structural component of neural and retinal tissue in the developing pig.
SALMATE® supplies EPA and DHA as a stable, free-flowing powder that blends cleanly into sow premixes and complete feeds, with accurate, repeatable inclusion.
Dietary EPA and DHA are nutrients associated with sow reproductive performance and piglet vigor. SALMATE® delivers EPA and DHA in a stable dry form.
SALMATE® is a free-flowing powder that blends into sow premixes and complete feeds for gestation and lactation, with accurate inclusion and easy handling.
Plant sources provide ALA, which the pig converts to EPA and DHA inefficiently. A marine source supplies the long-chain EPA and DHA directly.
